(3) In the default notice, QTC must— (a) specify the default; and (b) require the entity to remedy the default. (4) If the entity does not remedy the default within 14 days after receiving the default notice, QTC may serve a written notice upon the Treasurer. (5) In the notice, QTC must— (a) certify the default has occurred and remains unremedied; and (b) request the Treasurer to pay the amount of the unremedied default to QTC. 3(1) As soon as practicable after receiving a notice from QTC under clause 2(4), the Treasurer must pay the default amount to QTC from funds or reserves that the Treasurer considers appropriate. (2) If the Treasurer is obliged or elects to seek an appropriation from Parliament before paying the whole or part of the default amount out of a particular fund or reserve, the Treasurer must promptly seek the appropriation. 4 The Treasurer may at any time direct QTC not to provide— (a) any further financial accommodation to the entity; or (b) financial accommodation to the entity in excess of a specified aggregate amount. 5 If QTC provides financial accommodation to the entity contrary to the Treasurer’s direction under clause 4— (a) the financial accommodation is not part of the loan, or another loan to which section 82 of the Statutory Bodies Financial Arrangements Act 1982 applies, and the Treasurer has no obligation to QTC under this guarantee for the financial accommodation; and (b) any payments made by or for the entity to QTC must be applied by QTC firstly in reduction of the loan for which the Treasurer (for the State) is liable under this guarantee. 6 The Treasurer is under no obligation to pay the default amount to QTC if— (a) QTC or the entity materially contravened the Statutory Bodies Financial Arrangements Act 1982 , the Queensland Treasury Corporation Act 1988 or the entity’s authorising Act in relation to the loan; or (b) the approvals required under the Statutory Bodies Financial Arrangements Act 1982 , the Queensland Treasury Corporation Act 1988 or the entity’s authorising Act to enter into the loan were not obtained or any conditions of the approval were not materially complied with; or (c) QTC has materially contravened this guarantee. 7(1) QTC may grant the entity any time, waiver, forbearance or other concession without discharging or limiting the rights of QTC under this guarantee.

(2) The exercise or partial exercise by QTC of a right or remedy does not prevent any further or other exercise of the right or remedy. 9 QTC may not assign or transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under this guarantee to a third party. 10 The Treasurer does not incur any personal liability under this guarantee. 11 On request by the Treasurer, QTC must give to the Treasurer any information about its transactions and dealings with the entity. 12 A notice, communication, consent or direction that may be given by or to the Treasurer may be given by or to the Under Treasurer or a person acting in the position of the Under Treasurer. from top.html --> Site footer Copyright Disclaimer Privacy Right to information --> Accessibility Jobs in Queensland Government Other languages © The State of Queensland (Office of the Queensland Parliamentary Counsel) 2014-2026 (Ver. 2.7.30-7865 Rev. ) Queensland Government -->
