(1) The Minister may, by notice in the Gazette, declare that this Schedule applies to or in relation to a superannuation scheme in 1 or more of the following respects:
(a) that the superannuation scheme and its associated superannuation fund will be a scheme and fund established under this Act;
(b) that the superannuation scheme will be administered by Super SA;
(c) that the superannuation fund will be invested and managed by the Superannuation Funds Management Corporation of South Australia;
(d) that the superannuation scheme and its associated superannuation fund will have the Board as its trustee.
(2) The Minister may not make a declaration under subclause (1) unless—

(b) the Minister is acting on the basis of an application made by the trustee of the scheme.
(3) The following provisions apply in connection with the operation of paragraph (a) of subclause (2):

(i) the Government of the State; or
(ii) an agency or instrumentality of the Crown; or
(iii) some other public authority prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this paragraph; and
(b) once a declaration has been made under subclause (1) in relation to a superannuation scheme, it is irrelevant if the scheme ceases to be a qualifying scheme (and the Minister may, if due application has been made, make a further declaration under subclause (1) on the basis that paragraph (a) of subclause (2) no longer applies).
(4) The following provisions apply in connection with the operation of paragraph (b) of subclause (2):

(5) A declaration under subclause (1)—
(a) will have effect according to its terms; and
(b) will take effect on a day fixed by the Minister by notice in the Gazette (either as part of the declaration or by a separate notice published at a later time).
(6) If a declaration is made under subclause (1)(a), the declaration will have the effect of establishing a new scheme in place of the scheme and fund to which the declaration relates—
(a) with the same assets, subject to any provision as to their administration or management under subclause (1)(b) or (c) and to the operation of any other provision of this Schedule and subject to future variations; and
(b) with the same trustee or trustees, subject to the operation of a declaration under subclause (1)(d) and subject to future changes in arrangements made in accordance with any relevant provision in the trust deed for the scheme; and
(c) with the same members and benefits, subject to the operation of any other provision of this Schedule or the trust deed or rules of the scheme and subject to future changes in membership or variations to that trust deed or rules; and
(d) with a trust deed and rules applying (from time to time) under clause 3.
(7) If a declaration is made under subclause (1)(d), the Board will, if the Minister so determines—
(a) indemnify a trustee of the superannuation scheme holding office before the declaration against any liabilities that the trustee was indemnified against before the making of the declaration;
(b) be subrogated to the rights of a trustee of the superannuation scheme holding office before the declaration.
3—Arrangements as to trust deed and rules

(a) is acting on the basis of an application made by the trustee of the relevant superannuation scheme; and
(b) is satisfied that the trust deed and rules of the administered scheme confer on members of the scheme equivalent rights to the rights that members had under the original fund in respect of benefits.
(4) A trust deed or rules may be varied in accordance with the terms of the trust deed or rules and subclauses (2) and (3) will apply to any variation in the same manner as they applied to the original trust deed or rules (as the case requires).
(5) For the purposes of subclause (3), if the application is made—
(a) by a body corporate that has 3 or more directors—the application must be made pursuant to a special resolution of the directors of the body corporate;
(b) by the trustees of a superannuation scheme that has 3 or more trustees—the application must be made pursuant to a special resolution of the trustees.
4—Arrangements as to assets
(1) If a declaration has been made under clause 2(1)(c), the trustee of the relevant superannuation scheme may, by instrument in writing, transfer any assets of the scheme to the Superannuation Funds Management Corporation of South Australia so that those assets may be invested and managed under this Schedule.
(2) Any monetary asset received under subclause (1) must be paid into a fund under Part 3.
