Public Works Act 1981

Government drains

194: Minister to have powers of territorial authority

You could also call this:

“The Minister's special drain powers were removed”

This part of the law used to talk about the powers the Minister had when it came to government drains. It was like the Minister could do things that usually only local councils could do. However, this rule doesn’t exist anymore. It was taken out of the law on 1 April 1988. This means that now, the Minister doesn’t have these special powers for government drains.
