Overseas Investment Act 2005

Consent and conditions regime - Administration

30: Regulator

You could also call this:

"The person in charge of overseas investments is called the regulator, chosen by the Minister."

The regulator is the chief executive of a government department. This department is chosen by the Minister, who tells the chief executive in writing. The Minister can change their mind at any time and choose a different department by sending another notice in writing to the chief executive. You need to know that the Minister has the power to decide which department is in charge. The chief executive of the chosen department is the regulator, and they are in charge until the Minister says otherwise.
