6F: Term of office of members of Authority

You could also call this:

"How long you can be on the New Zealand Conservation Authority"

You are a member of the New Zealand Conservation Authority. You hold office for a term that is not more than three years. The Minister decides how long your term will be. You can be reappointed when your term ends.

The Minister can remove you from office if you go bankrupt, cannot do your job, neglect your duties, or behave badly. You can resign from office at any time by writing to the Minister.

If you die, resign, or are removed from office, the Minister must fill the vacancy. The Minister must fill the vacancy in the same way that you were originally appointed. If you were appointed under section 6D(1), the Minister can fill the vacancy in one of two ways: in the same way that you were originally appointed, or by appointing someone from the nominations received in response to the most recent call for nominations under section 6D(2) and in accordance with section 6D(3).

You will hold office for the rest of the term that the person who left was appointed for. You will keep being a member of the Authority until someone else is appointed to take your place.
