Crown Entities Act 2004

Establishment and governance of Crown entities - Statutory entities - Delegation

73: Ability to delegate

You could also call this:

"The board can give some of its jobs to others, like members, employees, or approved people."

The board of a statutory entity can give some of its jobs or powers to other people. You can be given these jobs or powers if you are a member of the board, an employee of the entity, or a committee. The board can also give jobs or powers to someone the responsible Minister approves of, or to a group of people that includes any of these. The board can even give jobs or powers to a subsidiary of the statutory entity. When the board gives jobs or powers to someone, it must do so by making a resolution and sending a written notice to that person. There are some jobs or powers that the board cannot give to someone else, such as those listed in the entity's Act as not being capable of delegation, or the board's general power of delegation.
