Water Act 2007

The Authority may, by writing, delegate any or all of its functions and powers to:

an Authority member; or

an SES employee, or acting SES employee, who is a member of the Authority staff; or

any other member of the Authority staff; or

an individual whose services are made available to the Authority under section 207.

The Authority may, by writing, delegate any or all of its functions and powers to a person who holds, or acts in, an office or position:

with a State or an authority of a State; and

at a level equivalent to that of an SES employee;

A delegate under subsection (1) or (2) must comply with any written directions of the Authority.

A person (the delegate) delegated a function or power under subsection (2) may, by writing, sub‑delegate that function or power to another officer or employee (the sub‑delegate) of the State or authority concerned.

A sub‑delegate must comply with any written directions of the delegate.

If the delegate is subject to a direction in relation to the performance of the function or the exercise of the power sub‑delegated under subsection (4), the delegate must give a corresponding direction to the sub‑delegate.

Sections 34AA, 34AB and 34A of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 apply to a sub‑delegation in the same way as they apply to a delegation.
