Implementation of reorganisation schemes

37ZZZM: Effect of Orders in Council giving effect to reorganisation schemes

You could also call this:

"How the government makes changes to local councils using a special decision called an Order in Council"

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

When a reorganisation scheme is put in place, the government can make an Order in Council to make it happen. You need to know that this Order in Council has the power to make changes to how local government works. An Order in Council is a decision made by the government that has the force of law, and in this case, it is used to give effect to a reorganisation scheme, but this particular section of the law, section 37ZZZM, was repealed on 1 July 2003 by section 266 of the Local Government Act 2002, which can be found at https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1986/0120/latest/link.aspx?id=DLM174092.
