Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand

72E: Authority to consider delegating or contracting out of functions and powers

You could also call this:

“The Aviation Authority can ask others to help with its work”

When the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand is doing its job, it needs to think about the best way to get things done. This means they should consider if it’s better for them to do the work themselves, or if they should ask someone else to do it for them. If they decide to ask someone else, they need to choose carefully by looking at different options to find the best person or company for the job. The Authority needs to make sure that whatever they choose is the most efficient and effective way to do their work.
