South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts (1) Whenever a sewer
has been laid down by the Corporation in a drainage area, the Corporation must
cause notice of that fact to be published in the Gazette.
(2) As from the
payment day next ensuing after the expiration of seven days from the day on
which that notice is published, sewerage rates are, subject to
section 78AAA, payable according to the appropriate scale for the time
being in force in respect of all land within the drainage area that could in
the opinion of the Corporation, by means of drains, be drained by the sewer.
(3) A notice of the
kind contemplated by this section published under this Act, as in force before
the commencement of the Sewerage Act Amendment Act 1970 , shall be deemed
to be a notice published under this section in all respects as if this section
had been in force when the notice was published.
(4) Where
sewerage rates have become payable in respect of any land within a
drainage area the rates shall not cease to be so payable by reason of any
alteration of drainage areas in consequence of which the land becomes situated
within a different drainage area.
(5) In any proceedings
under this Act, objection shall not be allowed on the ground that a notice
under this section is invalid or inoperative by reason of an error or
inaccuracy contained therein if the court before which the proceedings are
brought is satisfied that, notwithstanding that error or inaccuracy, the
meaning and effect of that notice is clear.
(6) Where a notice has
been published under this section before the declaration of the area in which
the sewer has been laid down as a drainage area, the notice shall be deemed to
have been published immediately after that declaration.
