Tasmanian Development Act 1983

TDR may, with the approval of the Minister, and by instrument in writing, delegate to a director or an officer or committee of TDR the performance or exercise of such of its functions and powers (other than this power of delegation) under this or any other Act as are specified in the instrument, and may, by a further instrument in writing, revoke wholly or in part any such delegation.

A function or power, the performance or exercise of which has been delegated under this section, may, while the delegation remains unrevoked, be performed or exercised from time to time in accordance with the terms of the delegation.

A delegation under this section may be made subject to such conditions or limitations as to the performance or exercise of any of the functions or powers delegated, or as to time or circumstance, as are specified in the instrument of delegation.

Notwithstanding any delegation under this section, TDR may continue to perform or exercise all or any of the functions or powers delegated.

Any act or thing done by or to a director or an officer or committee of TDR while acting in the exercise of a delegation under this section shall have the same force and effect as if the act or thing had been done by, or to, TDR and shall be deemed to have been done by, or to, TDR.

An instrument purporting to be executed by the delegate as such is to be received in evidence in all courts and before all persons acting judicially as if it were an instrument executed by TDR and, until the contrary is proved, is taken to be an instrument executed by the delegate under this section.

Where the performance of a function or the exercise of a power by TDR is dependant on the opinion or belief of TDR, a delegate of TDR under this section may, in performing that function or exercising that power, act on his own opinion or belief.
