Universities Legislation Amendment Bill 2016
Bill No.
172
Synopsis
The purpose of this bill is - to amend the following Acts - the Curtin University of Technology Act 1966; the Edith Cowan University Act 1984; the Murdoch University Act 1973; the University of Notre Dame Australia Act 1989; the University of Western Australia Act 1911; to repeal the following Acts - the Murdoch University Planning Board Act 1970; the Reserves (University Lands) Act 1972; to make consequential amendments to other Acts, and for related purposes. The bill amends the Acts of the four public universities to provide for a common scheme for raising money, which will remove unnecessary administrative complexities. It also explicitly sets out the options available to universities when raising capital and provides for a university to need only approach the Minister for Education and the Treasurer if it intends to seek a guarantee on borrowings.
