The Board shall consist of:

When the whole district of a constituent authority is merged by the Governor-General in the district of another constituent authority as part of a final scheme under the Local Government Commission Act 1961, the number of members of the Board appointed by the constituent authority whose district is enlarged by the merger shall be increased by the number of members previously appointed by the constituent authority for the district so merged.

Where a constituent authority is dissolved by the Governor-General as part of a final scheme under the Local Government Commission Act 1961, every member of the Board appointed by the constituent authority so dissolved shall, unless his office is vacated under section 6 of this Act, continue to hold office until any alteration of the constitution of the Board made necessary or advisable by the dissolution of the constituent authority is effected by amendment to this Act, but not in any case for a longer period than twelve months after effect is given to the final scheme under section 22 of the Local Government Commission Act 1961.”
