Natural Environment Bill

Key roles - Transfer and delegation of powers - Joint management agreements

237: Regional council may act alone

You could also call this:

"Regional council can make quick decisions on its own if needed"

Illustration for Natural Environment Bill

If you are part of a joint management agreement, you need to work with others. You have to do certain things together, like make decisions or take action. If a decision is needed quickly, the regional council can make it on its own. The regional council can do this if the agreement does not say how to make a quick decision. You would usually work together with the other parties to make decisions. But in this case, the regional council can act alone if needed.

Transfer and delegation of powers: Joint management agreements

237Regional council may act alone

  1. This section applies if a joint management agreement requires the parties to perform or exercise a specified function, power, or responsibility together.

  2. The regional council may perform or exercise the specified function, power, or responsibility by itself if a decision is required before the parties to the joint management agreement can perform or exercise the function, power or responsibility and the joint management agreement does not provide a method for making that kind of decision.
