Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009

Miscellaneous - Substantive council-controlled organisations

93: Councillors and local board members prohibited from appointment as directors of substantive council-controlled organisations

You could also call this:

"Councillors and local board members can't also be bosses of big organisations controlled by Auckland Council."

Illustration for Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009

You cannot be a director of a big organisation that the Auckland Council controls if you are a councillor or a local board member at the same time. The Auckland Council is not allowed to appoint you to be a director of one of these organisations if you are already a councillor or a local board member. If there is a conflict with section 43(2)(a), that section is more important than this one.
