Exercise of powers by authorised officers
167 Exercise of powers by authorised officers
An authorised officer has the powers conferred on authorised officers by the road transport legislation.
However, Transport for NSW may, by instrument in writing applicable to a specified authorised officer or each authorised officer of a specified class—
provide that the officer may not exercise specified powers, or
provide that the officer may exercise specified powers only, or
otherwise restrict the powers that the officer may exercise, including (for example) by limiting the circumstances in which the officer may exercise any powers conferred on the officer.
In addition, the statutory rules may identify powers that may only be exercised by authorised officers, or classes of authorised officers, who are specifically empowered by Transport for NSW under subsection (2)(b) to exercise them.
