Plain language law

New Zealand law explained for everyone

Local Government Act 2002

Regulatory, enforcement, and coercive powers of local authorities - Powers of local authorities to make bylaws - Bylaws proposed by local boards

150F: Joint bylaw proposals

You could also call this:

“Local boards can team up to suggest new rules for their areas”

You and other local boards can work together to suggest new rules for your areas. If you want to do this, you need to write down your idea and give it to the main council group. These new rules would only apply in the areas run by the local boards involved in the suggestion.

When you make this kind of suggestion, you need to follow the same steps as when a single local board suggests a new rule. You can find these steps in sections 150B to 150D of the law. You might need to change these steps a bit to make them work for multiple local boards, but the basic idea is the same.
