Responsibility for control of affairs
5 Responsibility for control of affairs
The affairs of a statutory land manager are to be controlled by—
if the statutory land manager has a board—the board, or
if another Act provides for a specified person or body to control its affairs—the person or body specified, or
if paragraph (a) or (b) does not apply—the Minister.
Any act, matter or thing done in the name of, or on behalf of, a statutory land manager by a board, person, body or the Minister that controls its affairs, or with the authority of that board, person, body or the Minister, is taken to have been done by the statutory land manager.
A statutory land manager whose affairs are not controlled by the Minister is not subject to the control and direction of the Minister (except to the extent specifically provided for in this or any other Act).
Note.
For example, the Minister may be able to require statutory land managers to do certain things under Part 3 (Management of Crown land) of this Act in connection with the exercise of their functions as the Crown land manager of particular Crown land.
