185F Councils must comply with a general Order and any special Order that applies
(1) A Council must comply with a general Order and any special Order that applies to it.
(2) If a Council fails to comply with the general Order and any special Order that applies to it, the failure does not affect the validity of any rates or charges levied in respect of the financial year in respect of which the failure occurred.
(3) Despite subsection (2), the Minister may by Order published in the Government Gazette declare that a Council's rates or charges levied in respect of a financial year, or part of the Council's rates or charges levied in respect of that financial year, are invalid for all purposes if the Minister is satisfied that the Council has repeatedly and substantially failed to comply with a general Order and any special Order.
