Queensland regulation
What this regulation does (mechanically)
Continues and prescribes the operation of numerous local Community Justice Groups (CJGs) across Queensland by naming each group, identifying its community area, and setting the rules that govern membership, nomination, meetings, voting and vacancies (see: part 2; schedules 1–19). Each schedule applies a community‑specific set of rules (minimum and maximum membership, eligible nominators, quorum and voting rules, term lengths, vacancy triggers, and conduct of business).
Provides transitional arrangements that: (a) carry over CJG arrangements from earlier regulations; (b) manage the transfer of assets, liabilities, grant moneys, reporting obligations and employees when the Island Coordinating Council (ICC) was dissolved and functions moved to Torres Strait Island Regional Council (TSIRC) and Northern Peninsula Area Regional Council (NPARC) (see: part 4, div.2, secs 7–22); and (c) preserve nominations, memberships and related instruments made under the repealed regulation (see: part 4, div.3 and part 5, secs 30–35).
Repeals the 1998 regulation and replaces it with this consolidated regulation (sec 30), and prescribes particular community areas for other Act purposes (secs 5 and 5A).
Who this affects
Local Indigenous communities that have Community Justice Groups listed in the schedules: individuals who are potential members, the main Indigenous social groupings or other entities that nominate members, community coordinators and selection committees (schedules 1–19).

This regulation may be cited as the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities (Justice, Land and Other Matters) Regulation 2008 .
This regulation commences on 30 August 2008.
The dictionary in schedule 21 defines particular words used in this regulation.
Each community justice group named in a relevant schedule is continued for the community area stated for the justice group. The community justice groups named in schedules 6 (Injinoo), 12 (New Mapoon) and 16 (Umagico) were established under section 18 of the Act before the changeover day and, from the changeover day, continued under section 84 of the Act . The community justice groups named in the schedules 2 (Bamaga) and 15 (Seisia) were established under the repealed Torres Strait Act before the changeover day and, from the changeover day, continued under section 85 of the Act . The community justice groups named in other relevant schedules were established under the repealed regulation. Subject to subsection (3) , each relevant schedule prescribes matters about the community justice group named in the schedule. If a relevant schedule states that a main Indigenous social grouping for a community justice group must nominate a minimum number of persons to be members of the justice group, including a minimum number of persons of a particular category, the obligation on the main Indigenous social grouping is to nominate the minimum number of persons to the greatest practicable extent. For a community area that is described, in schedule 6 , 12 or 16 , by reference to an area that, immediately before the changeover day, was the community government area of a local government— the reference to the local government is taken to be a reference to the local government as it existed immediately before the changeover day; and the reference to the community government area of the local government is taken to be a reference to the community government area as it was under the Local Government (Community Government Areas) Act 2004 , as in force immediately before the changeover day. In schedule 6 , section 1 , definition Injinoo community area— the reference to Injinoo Shire Council is taken to be a reference to Injinoo Shire Council as the council existed immediately before the changeover day; and the reference to the community government area of the Injinoo Shire Council is taken to be a reference to the community government area as it was under the Local Government (Community Government Areas) Act 2004 , as in force immediately before the changeover day. Under the Local Government (Community Government Areas) Act 2004 , as in force immediately before the changeover day, community government areas were described by reference to the local government areas for the councils, which were described in schedule 2 of that Act, as in force immediately before the changeover day. Each map mentioned in the Local Government (Community Government Areas) Act 2004 , schedule 2 , as in force immediately before the changeover day, can be— accessed by members of the public, free of charge, on the website of the department in which the Justices Act 1886 is administered; or purchased from any office of the department in which the Survey and Mapping Infrastructure Act 2003 is administered. In this section— relevant schedule means a schedule of this regulation other than schedule 20 or 21 . (sec.4-ssec.1) Each community justice group named in a relevant schedule is continued for the community area stated for the justice group. The community justice groups named in schedules 6 (Injinoo), 12 (New Mapoon) and 16 (Umagico) were established under section 18 of the Act before the changeover day and, from the changeover day, continued under section 84 of the Act .

Under the Local Government (Community Government Areas) Act 2004 , as in force immediately before the changeover day, community government areas were described by reference to the local government areas for the councils, which were described in schedule 2 of that Act, as in force immediately before the changeover day. Each map mentioned in the Local Government (Community Government Areas) Act 2004 , schedule 2 , as in force immediately before the changeover day, can be— accessed by members of the public, free of charge, on the website of the department in which the Justices Act 1886 is administered; or purchased from any office of the department in which the Survey and Mapping Infrastructure Act 2003 is administered. (sec.4-ssec.5) In this section— relevant schedule means a schedule of this regulation other than schedule 20 or 21 .
The Minister and the administering department, which must be notified of nominations and withdrawals and must publish notices on the Queensland Courts website (see nomination/notification provisions in each schedule, e.g. sch 1 pt 3 s 5–6).
Local governments and regional councils involved in transitional transfers (TSIRC, NPARC), registrars of titles (for recording transfers), and government departments with reporting/appointment roles (see part 4, secs 11, 12, 15–16, 18–21).
Why it matters (practical effects)
It fixes the formal membership and governance rules for CJGs in each named community, deciding who chooses members, how many people may serve, how meetings are run, and how votes are allocated. These are binding administrative rules that change how local groups operate in practice (see representative nomination rules and voting/quorum rules in each schedule).
It prescribes administrative duties and small but real compliance costs for nominators: they must notify the Minister of nominations/withdrawals; nominations only take effect after public notice (schedules’ nomination/notification sections).
It allocates responsibilities and legal continuity following local government/administrative change: assets, liabilities, employees and grant reporting that previously belonged to ICC were allocated to TSIRC and, in part, to NPARC. The regulation sets deadlines and gives the Minister a fall‑back power to decide apportionment if local transition committees do not (part 4, secs 11–16, 12–14).
Formal decision‑makers and who pays
Main Indigenous social groupings, nominating entities, or selection committees nominate members (varies by schedule). Coordinators call meetings and must notify the Minister of vacancies (schedules’ coordinator provisions).
The Minister (department) vets nominations, must publish notices on the Queensland Courts website and has a discretion to decide allocation of unexpended grant moneys if local transition committees fail to provide a report (part 4, secs 12–14; schedules’ notification provisions).
TSIRC is required to take on ICC’s assets, liabilities and grant obligations, and to transfer any portion of unexpended grant moneys to NPARC as directed by the allocation report or the Minister (part 4, secs 10–15). That means TSIRC bears the initial administrative and financial handling burden, and may be required to make transfers to NPARC.
Costs, incentives, trade‑offs and implementation considerations
Compliance burden: nominators must provide written notification to the Minister; the Minister/department must publish and record notices; registrars must record asset transfers on request (see nomination and part 4, sec 11).
Bureaucratic discretion and fall‑backs: the Minister is given explicit decision powers where local transition committees fail to act (part 4, secs 12–14). That creates a concentrated decision point (the Minister) for disputes or unallocated funds.
Differentiated local rules: schedules vary widely (different quorum sizes, voting rules, term lengths, eligibility conditions and whether criminal convictions disqualify). That increases administrative overhead for the department administering the Act and risks inconsistent application if guidance is not uniform (compare, e.g., sch 1, sch 3, sch 10 and sch 19).
Opportunity cost and conduct of business: CJGs are authorised to follow local tradition or Island custom in conducting business, but the regulation also prescribes specific procedural safeguards for decisions on functions under the parent Act (schedules’ conduct and special meeting provisions). This combination retains local practice while imposing standard administrative checkpoints.
Implementation risk: the regulation cross‑references multiple Acts, historical instruments and specified dates (e.g. changeover and dissolution days, historical nomination cut‑offs). Accurate historical application and record‑keeping are necessary to avoid disputes about whether a nomination or asset transfer remained valid.
Concrete behavioural effects
Nominating groups must act (and continue to act) to keep CJG membership filled and to inform the Minister (schedules’ nomination provisions).
Coordinators must call and record special meetings for decisions about the CJG’s statutory functions; voting is often limited by grouping or nominating entity, which shapes how consensus is formed at meetings (schedules’ meeting/voting rules).
TSIRC must assume reporting and provider obligations and transfer funds and documents as required, creating direct financial and administrative flows between councils (part 4, secs 10–19).
Relevant sections for quick reference
For part 5 , division 2 of the Act , each area stated in schedule 20 is prescribed as a community area for section 4 , definition community area .
This section applies for section 27 of the Act , definition prescribed community area . The following community areas are prescribed for section 38 (3) of the Act — Doomadgee; the Shire of Mornington; Kowanyama; Pormpuraaw; lot 4 on SP215744, known as Mitchell-Alice Rivers National Park; lot 5 on SP215744, known as Errk Oykangand National Park (Cape York Peninsula Aboriginal Land). s 5A ins 2008 SL No. 437 s 4 sub 2022 SL No. 33 s 4 amd 2022 SL No. 42 s 3 ; 2022 SL No. 153 s 3 (sec.5A-ssec.1) This section applies for section 27 of the Act , definition prescribed community area . (sec.5A-ssec.2) The following community areas are prescribed for section 38 (3) of the Act — Doomadgee; the Shire of Mornington; Kowanyama; Pormpuraaw; lot 4 on SP215744, known as Mitchell-Alice Rivers National Park; lot 5 on SP215744, known as Errk Oykangand National Park (Cape York Peninsula Aboriginal Land).
The main purposes of this part are— to provide for the continuation of particular matters previously dealt with under the repealed regulation; and to provide convenient access to the relevant transitional provisions.
In this division— allocation report see section 12 . dissolution day means the day the Local Government and Other Legislation (Indigenous Regional Councils) Amendment Act 2007 , section 46 commenced. grant agreement means an agreement between ICC and the Commonwealth, State or another entity (the grantor ), entered into before the dissolution day, under which the grantor gives ICC grant money. ICC means the Island Coordinating Council established under the Community Services (Torres Strait) Act 1984 , part 8 . local transition committees means the local transition committees, established under the Local Government Act 1993 , section 159YR , for the new local government areas of TSIRC and NPARC. The dictionary in the Act provides that— NPARC means the Northern Peninsula Area Regional Council. TSIRC means the Torres Strait Island Regional Council.
A matter under this division that happens from the dissolution day happens from the beginning of that day.
This section applies if, under an Act— ICC may perform a function or exercise a power; and ICC started to perform the function or exercise the power, but did not finish performing the function or exercising the power, before the dissolution day. TSIRC may, from the dissolution day, continue to perform the function or exercise the power.

(sec.9-ssec.2) TSIRC may, from the dissolution day, continue to perform the function or exercise the power.
This section applies if, immediately before the dissolution day, ICC is a registered provider under the Housing Act 2003 for providing housing services. From the dissolution day, TSIRC— is taken to be a registered provider under that Act for providing housing services; and has, to the greatest practicable extent, the same functions, powers and obligations of ICC in relation to its operation as a registered provider for the services. (sec.10-ssec.1) This section applies if, immediately before the dissolution day, ICC is a registered provider under the Housing Act 2003 for providing housing services. (sec.10-ssec.2) From the dissolution day, TSIRC— is taken to be a registered provider under that Act for providing housing services; and has, to the greatest practicable extent, the same functions, powers and obligations of ICC in relation to its operation as a registered provider for the services.
