A
Deputy Chief Officer may perform the functions and exercise the powers of the corresponding Chief Officer, including any functions or powers that have been delegated to the corresponding Chief
Officer under this Act, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in the instrument of appointment of the Deputy Chief
Officer.
To avoid doubt, a reference in this Act to a Chief Officer in relation to a function or power includes a reference to a corresponding
Deputy Chief Officer if the Deputy Chief Officer is authorised to perform the function or exercise the power.
Nothing in this section limits—
a specific delegation under this Act; or
a function or power that a person appointed as a Deputy Chief Officer may otherwise have or exercise under this Act or in connection with any appointment or position held apart from this Division.
