You could also call this:

"The Secretary's jobs and powers in controlling aviation in New Zealand"

The Secretary has some important jobs to do under the Civil Aviation Act 2023. You can think of these jobs as regulatory functions, duties, and powers. The Secretary's jobs include things that are stated in other parts of the Act, such as in Part 6 about international air services, Part 7 about airports, and Part 8 about carrying passengers and goods by air.

The Secretary also has to monitor, investigate, and enforce rules related to these areas. You might see the Secretary issuing reports or guidance about civil aviation, or making comments about people or companies involved in aviation. The Secretary collects and publishes statistics and information about aviation, as outlined in regulations made under subpart 1 of Part 10.

The Secretary works with other government agencies, local councils, and aviation companies to help them with their jobs. The Secretary also does other tasks that are related to their main jobs, to make sure everything runs smoothly.
