Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

The law used to have a part called section 40 that was about changing or getting rid of regions. You can find more information about what happened to this law by looking at the Local Government Amendment Act (No 2) 1989. This section was repealed, which means it is no longer part of the law, and this happened on 1 November 1989.
