Building Act 2004

Building - Safety of dams - Dangerous dams

160: Power of regional authority not limited

You could also call this:

“Regional authorities can use extra powers besides the ones listed for dealing with dangerous dams.”

The regional authority has powers under section 157. Sections 154 to 159 give the regional authority more powers. These extra powers don’t take away or limit the powers the regional authority already has under section 157. The regional authority can use all of these powers together.
