Illustration for Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017

The board of Fire and Emergency New Zealand can give some of its jobs to other people. You can be given these jobs if you are a Fire and Emergency New Zealand worker, a board member, a committee, or someone the board approves. The board must think you are qualified to do the job. The board can take back the jobs it gives to people at any time. If you are given a job, you can do it in the same way the board would. You can also give the job to someone else, but you must follow the same rules. If the job is given to someone outside the government, they need the board's permission to give it to someone else. Some rules from the Crown Entities Act 2004 do not apply to these jobs. The Public Service Act 2020 helps define who is outside the government.

                  1. However, in cases of delegations made to or by persons in the private sector, a delegate may subdelegate the function or power only with the prior written consent of the board.

                  2. A delegation or subdelegation may be revoked at any time by written notice of the board to the delegate, or by written notice of the board or the delegate to the subdelegate (as the case may be).
