sec.137 Power to enter into relevant agreements
Despite this Act or another Act, the Minister and an association, acting jointly or severally, may enter into a relevant agreement with any person. If an association alone proposes to enter into a relevant agreement, before entering into the agreement, it must obtain the written approval of the Minister authorising it to enter into the agreement. An approval under subsection (2) may be given— generally for a type of agreement; or for a particular agreement. An association must deal with any money it receives under a relevant agreement— as the Minister directs; or otherwise—as the association believes appropriate, consistent with the objectives of an association. A relevant agreement entered into by an association must contain any conditions required by the Minister by notice— given to the association; or published in the gazette. The conditions may relate to a stated relevant agreement or relevant agreements of a stated type.
