You can also be given jobs to do by a territorial authority if you are not an employee or a hearings commissioner.

It cannot give you the power to approve a plan under Schedule 2 or 3, or the power to delegate jobs to others, or make a decision on an application for a resource consent. A territorial authority can give someone the power to do something before a final decision is made. This is allowed under subsections (1) or (2), which have some rules about what jobs can be given to others. Some other rules, in sections 194(3) and 195, also apply to the jobs that a territorial authority gives to others. These rules help explain how the jobs can be given and what they include. They are important to follow when a territorial authority is delegating its functions, powers, or responsibilities to you or someone else.
