Delegations
Instruments of Delegation represent the formal delegation of powers by Council. Section 11(1)(b) of the Local Government Act 2020 (the Act) provides for a Council to delegate powers, duties and functions to its CEO under the Act or any other Act, other than certain specified powers.
Delegations enable the business of Council to be carried out effectively, in line with Council-approved policies, and are assigned to positions within Council rather than to individual staff. When executing powers under delegation, staff are also limited and bound by Council policies and procedures.
