Section 5.44 of the Local Government Act 1995 allows the Chief Executive Officer to delegate, in writing, any of his powers or duties (other than the power to delegate) to another employee. The Act also allows for the Chief Executive Officer to impose conditions on any delegations if he desires.
The Shire’s Delegated Authority Register contains details of all delegations to committees, the Chief Executive Officer and employees made under the Act and other relevant legislation.
The register is reviewed annually in accordance with the Act.
