Illustration for Local Government (Rating) Act 2002

The Governor-General can make rules about how local authorities assess rates for sewage disposal under section 9 for certain land. You need to know that these rules are related to clause 6(a) or (b) of Part 1 of Schedule 1. The Governor-General makes these rules by Order in Council.

The rules can only be made after 1 July 2005, and only if the Minister recommends them. The Minister must also consider a report that meets the requirements of section 26 before making a recommendation. Before the Minister makes a recommendation, they must talk to the New Zealand Local Government Association Incorporated and other organisations that have a particular interest in the rules.

The Minister responsible for the administration of this Act is the one who makes the recommendations. If you want to know more about how these rules are published, you can look at Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
