52 When redistribution takes effect

(1) At the end of 21 days after the publication of the notice, but subject to section 57 (6) , the State is redistributed into the electoral districts, and those districts have the names, set out in the notice.

(2) The State remains so redistributed until the next electoral redistribution becomes final.

(3) However, until the Legislative Assembly is next dissolved or expires by the passage of time, the redistribution does not affect a by-election for an electoral district to fill a vacancy in the membership of the Legislative Assembly.
