Annual Review - Register Of Delegations - Council To CEO

Councillors this report is about the annual review of delegations Council to CEO review register of delegations is attached to the report item number one it's 550 pages strong apologies for that as you are aware the delegation of powers is required so that Council office are appropriately authorised to conduct their daily duties that Council provides efficient community services and that u.s Councillors can focus on high-level strategic matters the statutory powers required for Council to operate are assigned to Councillors by action regulations this is the whole register here and the Local Government Act allows Council by resolution to delegate these powers to the CEO subsequently to that can then allow us the CEO to further delegate these powers to appropriately qualified employees or contractors this stage of the review and this report is only in relation to delegations from you as Councillors to the to see you the Local Government Act describes that this review must occur annually that's why you see us here and that is required to maintain currency of delegations in response to changes to state or commonwealth law also provides opportunity to Councillors to make changes to the register of delegations or conditions of delegations what we've done this year and it also provides opportunity for council officers to request additional delegated powers were required if they discovered during the year that they do require additional powers. So as part of this year's review we've conducted two delegation workshops where we touch base on these three items. As part of the first workshop. And the second, the governance team presented Councillors with a legal update as received from the local government association and in consultation with U.S. Councillors we applied changes to 13 registers of our delegation register. Governance team presented to you also detail of two new registers which are requested by our local laws team to manage stock where required likely a rather infrequent item but for that reason to minimise risk we've also added to the register the stock management act and regulations and the planning and development assessment team also facilitated a review of the conditions pertaining to planning legislation as requested by Council resolution 69b for the Ordinary Meeting held on 15 June 2023 last year's annual review as a result the conditions of delegation of the Planning Act 2016 the development assessment rules and the Planning Regulation 2017 were modified in consultation with you as Councillors to ensure that development matters are referred to counselling in accordance with Councillor in community interests therefore in sum the recommendation today before you is that the a the Council note the report to the General Committee dated 12 August 2024 regarding Council's annual delegation review and b adopt the register of delegations Council to CEO pursuant to section 257 government act 2009 to delegate the powers of the local government outlined in the register of delegations providing attachment one to the CEO.
