District allowance.

41.—(1.) In this regulation, “isolated district” means—

(a) a locality in respect of which a district allowance is payable to officers of the Commonwealth Public Service under regulation 101 of the Public Service Regulations; or

(b) a locality that is determined to be an isolated district in pursuance of sub-regulation (3.) of this regulation.

(2.) The grade in which an isolated district, being a locality referred to in paragraph (a) of the last preceding sub-regulation, is classified in pursuance of regulation 102 of the Public Service Regulations for the purpose of payment of district allowance under those Regulations shall be deemed to be the grade in which that isolated district is classified for the purpose of this regulation.

(3.) Where, in the opinion of the Military Board, residence in a locality involves disadvantage or hardship owing to the distance of the locality from a centre of urban population, the severity of its climate or the cost of living in that locality, the Military Board may—

(a) determine that that locality is an isolated district for the purpose of this regulation; and

(b) classify that isolated district in a grade corresponding with a classified grade referred to in the last preceding sub-regulation.

(4.) Subject to the succeeding provisions of this regulation, where a member is posted for service in, and resides in, an isolated district, an allowance, called “district allowance”, is payable to the member, from and including the day upon which he arrives in that district to and including the day before the day he ceased to reside in that district, at the rate per day specified, according to the grade of the isolated district and his marital and living conditions in the following table:—
