44: Duties of directors

You could also call this:

"What directors of Auckland Transport must do to follow the law and make good decisions"

Illustration for Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009

When you are a director of Auckland Transport, you must not break this Act or cause Auckland Transport to break it. You must act with honesty and integrity when making decisions as a director. You must also act in good faith, which means you do what is best for Auckland Transport, not just what is best for you.

You have to be careful and diligent when making decisions, like a reasonable person would in the same situation. This means thinking about the kind of organisation Auckland Transport is, what you are doing, and what your role is as a director.

You can find more information about the rules that apply to directors of Auckland Transport in the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 and the Local Government (Auckland Council) Amendment Act 2010.
