31: Decisions and directions of Crown water services specialist

You could also call this:

"What happens to a Crown water services specialist's decisions when their term ends"

When a Crown water services specialist's term ends, this section applies to you if you are a territorial authority. You will no longer have to follow the directions given by the Crown water services specialist, even if section 33(c) says otherwise.

If you made a decision because of a direction from the Crown water services specialist, that decision will still be in force unless you choose to revoke or amend it.

If you revoke or amend a decision, you must tell the Secretary for Local Government as soon as you can, so they know what you have done, you can find more information about this in the section 33(c) and also by looking at the 2002 No 84 s 258ZA(1)–(3).
