Overview
This full day of training combines the 3 hour ‘Council Delegations’ session, which discusses the principles regarding the making of delegations and the exercise of delegated powers and functions under a variety of legislation, and the 3 hour ‘How to use LGA Delegations Templates’.
Key Learnings
This training will provide participants with an understanding of delegation in a local government context and an opportunity to explore the LGA delegation templates. The first half of the day will cover the following topics:
· The statutory framework within which delegations are made including under the Planning Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 and the Local Government Act 1999
· What it means to delegate a power or function
· The role and responsibilities of the delegate
· How to determine which powers and functions are relevant and appropriate for your council to delegate (and for the CEO to subdelegate)
· How to determine to whom a delegation (and sub delegation) should be made
· Legal ramifications for inadequate or flawed delegations.
· Appointments of authorised officers and persons – what this means, why they are appointed and what ‘extra’ powers this gives the authorised officer/person.
After lunch the workshop will offer a hands-on experience in using the templates and tips for getting the most out of them. It will also cover some traps to consider and give participants the opportunity to ask questions.
