Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004

The registrar may appoint a public servant as deputy registrar for each construction occupation.

Note 1 For the making of appointments (including acting appointments), see the Legislation Act, pt 19.3.

Note 2 In particular, a person may be appointed for a particular provision of a law (see Legislation Act, s 7 (3)) and an appointment may be made by naming a person or nominating the occupant of a position (see Legislation Act, s 207).

The appointment must not be for longer than 3 years.

A deputy registrar may exercise the functions of the registrar (other than the power to delegate a function) in relation to the construction occupation for which the deputy is appointed.

However, the registrar may—

limit the functions the deputy registrar may exercise, either in the instrument of appointment or in writing later; and

give the deputy registrar written directions about the exercise of the functions.

If the registrar gives the deputy registrar written directions about the exercise of a function, the deputy registrar may only exercise the function in accordance with the directions.
