Delegations & Public Registers

Delegations 

Councils are required to undertake specific functions and duties, and can exercise certain powers, pursuant to the Local Government Act 1999 and a range of other Acts. In most cases the relevant Acts grant these obligations and powers directly to the Council.

As it is neither practical nor efficient for the Elected Member body to perform the many operational activities required by legislation or to meet community needs, Section 44 of the Local Government Act 1999 allows a Council to formally delegate many of its functions and powers to the Chief Executive Officer who may then sub-delegate the powers and functions to other responsible staff, or to a Committee of Council.
