363: Alteration of community trust boundaries

You could also call this:

"The Governor-General can change community trust area boundaries with advice from the Minister and Local Government Commission."

The Governor-General can change the boundaries of community trusts. This happens when the Minister advises them to, and the Minister only does this if the Local Government Commission recommends it. The Commission looks at the boundaries of community trusts and suggests changes to match the statistical meshblock areas used by Statistics New Zealand.

The Local Government Commission talks to people who will be affected by the changes, like the community trust's trustees and licensees. They can then recommend that the boundaries be altered to coincide with meshblocks. The Governor-General makes the changes by creating an Order in Council, which is a type of secondary legislation, and you can learn more about this type of legislation in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.

When the Governor-General makes an order to change the boundaries, it is a type of secondary legislation, and there are rules about how it must be published, as outlined in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.

  2. The Minister may give the advice referred to in subsection (1) only on the recommendation of the Local Government Commission (the Commission) made in accordance with subsection (3).
