### sec.92AJ Creation of commercial business units for withdrawn councils
For LGA 2009 , each withdrawn council is taken to have decided by resolution to do the following—
commercialise a significant business for the services it provides as a water service provider (its WSP business );
create a commercial business unit for its WSP business.
Until a withdrawn council decides otherwise, the name of its WSP business is the name of its commercial business unit for the services under the repealed Local Government Act 1993 immediately before 1 July 2010.
If a withdrawn council’s WSP business proposes to develop significant water infrastructure, the council must consult with any other withdrawn council or distributor-retailer whose local government area or geographic area adjoins the council’s local government area.
To remove any doubt, it is declared that this section does not limit or otherwise affect a withdrawn council’s capacity under LGA 2009 to create a corporate entity to acquire and conduct its WSP business.
