60: Status of Auckland water organisation under Public Works Act 1981

You could also call this:

"Auckland water organisation is treated like a local council under the Public Works Act 1981"

Illustration for Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009

When you look at the Public Works Act 1981, you need to consider an Auckland water organisation that is not a local authority as if it were a local authority. You also treat a work done by this organisation under this Part as if it were a local work, even if the organisation is not a local authority. This means that for the purposes of the Public Works Act 1981, the organisation and its work are treated in the same way as a local authority and its work.
