Local Government Act 1974

Functions and powers of district community councils and community councils

667: Community council to be a committee of territorial authority

You could also call this:

"A community council is a committee that works under a city or district council."

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

A community council is a type of committee that belongs to a territorial authority. You can think of a territorial authority like a city or district council. The community council is part of this larger group and works under its authority.

The law that says this is part of the Local Government Act 1974, but this specific part was repealed, which means it is no longer in effect, by the Local Government Amendment Act (No 2) 1989, which you can read more about via the Local Government Amendment Act (No 2) 1989.

This change happened on 1 November 1989, so it has not been a part of the law for a long time.
