715: Delegation of powers by council

You could also call this:

"Councils can pass on some of their jobs to others, but this rule is no longer in use."

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

A council can give some of its powers to others, but you need to know this part of the law has been repealed. This means it is no longer in force, and it was removed from the law on 1 July 2003. The law that removed this part was the Local Government Act 2002, which you can find more information about on the New Zealand legislation website.
