EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

At its Ordinary meeting held 6 March 2014, Council delegated to the Chief Executive Officer
the exercise of powers as contained in the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 and Integrated
Planning Act 1997 and Building Act 1975.
In accordance with other delegations adopted by Council a review of the LGAQ on-line
Delegations Register has been undertaken and it is proposed to adopt the LGAQ
delegations format for the following delegations from Council to the CEO referred to in
Attachment 1.
The Building delegations are intended to be reported to Council separately with the
Plumbing delegations.
In addition, a review of the conditions of delegation for the Sustainable Planning Act 2009
has been undertaken and it is proposed to discontinue the 3 day referral to Councillors and
instead provide the ability for Councillors to request a matter to be considered at a Council
meeting, with the request to be made before the decision stage commences.
