11 .         Modifications to applied provisions

        (1)         If a provision of this Act or the regulations declares a matter to be an applied Corporations legislation matter for the purposes of the Corporations (Ancillary Provisions) Act 2001 Part 3 (the declaratory provision ) in relation to any provisions of the Corporations legislation (the applied provisions ), the declaratory provision is taken to specify the following modifications —

            (a)         a reference in the applied provisions to articles or a memorandum of association or a constitution or replaceable rules is to be read as a reference to rules;

            (b)         a cross-reference in the applied provisions to another provision of the Corporations Act is, if that cross-reference is not appropriate (because for example the provision cross-referred to is not among the applied provisions), to be read as a cross-reference to the equivalent provision of this Act;

            (c)         a reference in the applied provisions to the Gazette is to be read as a reference to the Western Australian Government Gazette ;

            (d)         a reference in the applied provisions to the Commonwealth is to be read as a reference to this State;

            (e)         any of the applied provisions that are not relevant to co-operatives or that are incapable of application to co-operatives are to be ignored;

            (f)         modifications prescribed under a regulation under subsection (2).

        (2)         The regulations may prescribe the modifications that are necessary or desirable for the effective operation of the applied provisions.
