  57       Major contracts
          (1)  This   section  applies  if a  continuing  local  government
               proposes to enter into a major contract that would bind the
               related new local government after the changeover day.
          (2)  The continuing local government must not enter into the
               contract unless the transfer manager for the new local
               government    agrees  in  writing   to the   continuing  local
               government entering into the contract.
          (3)  If the continuing local government and the transfer manager
               for the new local government are unable to agree on whether
               the continuing local government should enter into          the
               contract, the Minister must make the decision.
          (4)  In this section—
               major contract means a contract the total value of which is
               more than the greater of the following—
               (a)   $200000;
               (b)   1% of the continuing local government’s net rate and
                     utility charges   as  stated in  the  continuing   local
                     government’s audited financial statements included in
                     the  continuing   local  government’s    most   recently

  58      Duty to facilitate de-amalgamation

               this regulation.
          (2)  Without    limiting  subsection   (1),  a   continuing   local
               government must give the related new local government the
               documents that are necessary to enable compliance with this
               regulation.
