Previous Council Consideration

Finance & Risk
The amendment of Council’s existing delegations has been met through Governance’s core
budget provisions. Operationally if delegations are not current or officers operate outside of their
delegated authority the decisions made may be illegal and unauthorised. This may expose
Council to the risk of unnecessary and expensive legal action by third parties.

To manage this risk delegated powers can only be exercised in accordance with the scope and
limitations of the subject officer’s letter of appointment and/or, position description, qualifications,
technical knowledge and legislative requirements. Additionally, the officer must take into account
any conditions of delegation, relevant Council resolutions, policies, procedures etc.
