ASSOCIATIONS INCORPORATION ACT 2015 - SECT 95

95 .         Commissioner may direct incorporated association to apply for other registration or incorporation

        (1)         This section applies if —

            (a)         the Commissioner is satisfied that the continued incorporation of an association under this Act would for any reason be inappropriate, including —

                  (i)         on account of the incorporated association having, in the opinion of the Commissioner, ceased to be eligible to be incorporated under this Act; or

                  (ii)         because any prescribed circumstances exist;

                or

            (b)         in the opinion of the Commissioner, it would be more appropriate for the activities of the incorporated association that lodged the application to be carried on by a body corporate registered or incorporated under some other law.

        (2)         The grounds on which the Commissioner may form an opinion for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) include the following —

            (a)         the scale or nature of the activities of the incorporated association;

            (b)         the value or nature of the property of the incorporated association;

            (c)         the extent or nature of the dealings the incorporated association has with the public;

            (d)         any other matter the Commissioner considers relevant.

        (3)         The Commissioner may in writing direct the incorporated association to apply for, and do all things that are reasonably necessary to obtain, registration or incorporation as a prescribed body corporate.

        (4)         A direction under subsection (3) —

            (a)         must specify the period within which the application must be made; and

            (b)         may specify any terms and conditions that are to be observed in making the application for registration or incorporation or doing the things that are reasonably necessary to obtain it.

        (5)         The Commissioner may, by notice in writing to the incorporated association —

            (a)         from time to time extend the period referred to in subsection (4)(a); or

            (b)         revoke or amend a direction given under subsection (3).
