36D: Effect of joint management agreement

You could also call this:

“What happens when groups work together to make decisions about managing resources”

When you make a decision under a joint management agreement, it has legal effect as a decision of the local authority. You can think of a joint management agreement like a plan that local authorities follow. A decision made under this plan is like a decision made by the local authority itself.

A joint management agreement is a type of agreement that local authorities use to manage resources. You can find more information about these agreements in the Resource Management Act 1991. This act is a law that helps manage New Zealand’s resources, and it can be found on the New Zealand legislation website.
