Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

A regional or united council can do jobs that a constituent authority is supposed to do. You can find more information about this in section 261 of the Local Government Act 1974, but it is no longer valid because it was repealed. It was repealed on 1 November 1989 by section 29(1) of the Local Government Amendment Act (No 2) 1989, which you can read about on the legislation website.
