New South Wales regulation
Sets who can and must be on the Sound NSW Advisory Board by prescribing eligibility and composition requirements, defining who counts as an "artist", and tying the regulation’s start to the parent Act. It affects prospective board applicants and the Minister who appoints members; the rules matter because they determine which industry and regional perspectives are formally required on the Board.
