Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009

Miscellaneous - Substantive council-controlled organisations

92: Substantive council-controlled organisations must give effect to LTP and act consistently with other specified plans and strategies of Council

You could also call this:

"Council-controlled organisations must follow the Council's main plans and make decisions that fit with them."

Illustration for Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009

If you are part of a substantive council-controlled organisation, you must follow the relevant parts of the LTP. You also have to act consistently with other plans or strategies of the Council, as specified in writing by the Council's governing body. This means you need to consider the Council's plans and strategies when making decisions.

You have to give effect to the LTP and other plans, but there are some exceptions. For example, you need to consider section 84(2) of the Local Government (Water Services Preliminary Arrangements) Act 2024 and section 56A of this Act. These sections may affect how you follow the LTP and other plans.

When you are making decisions, you must think about how they fit with the Council's overall plans and strategies. You have to make sure your actions are consistent with these plans, as specified by the Council's governing body.
