New Zealand law explained for everyone

Resource Management Act 1991

Functions, powers, and duties of central and local government - Functions, powers, and duties of local authorities

33: Transfer of powers

You could also call this:

“Explains how local authorities can give some of their responsibilities to other groups”

This part of the law used to be about transferring powers between local authorities. However, it’s no longer in effect. On 24 August 2023, this section was removed from the Resource Management Act 1991. This change happened because of a new law called the Natural and Built Environment Act 2023. If you want to know more about why this change was made, you might need to look at that new law.
