2.4.1 Auckland Council powers and responsibilities
-
In addition to the powers, responsibilities and duties set out in the Local Government Act, the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act sets out the decision-making responsibilities of the governing body and local boards and the unique governance structure. Under the scheme:
-
Both the governing body and local boards are responsible and democratically accountable for the decision-making of Auckland Council.
-
Whether responsibility for making any particular decision rests with the governing body or one or more of the local boards depends on the nature of the decision being made [1].
