Power of Minister and Chief Executive to delegate
6 Power of Minister and Chief Executive to delegate
The
Minister may, from time to time, by instrument in writing, delegate to the Chief Executive any powers, duties or functions under this
Act or any other Act.
The
Chief Executive may delegate any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or functions vested in, or delegated to, the Chief
Executive under this Act or any other Act—
to a specified employee of the Department; or
to an employee of the Department of a specified class; or
with the approval of the Minister—to any other suitable person.
A delegation under this section is revocable at will, and does not prevent the exercise of any power, function, duty or responsibility by the Minister or the Chief Executive.
Any power, function, duty or responsibility vested in, imposed on or delegated to the Chief Executive under this Act may, if the Chief
Executive is absent from or otherwise unable to perform the duties of office, be exercised by such other officer or employee of the
Department as the Minister may, by instrument in writing, authorise.
