Declaration of pecuniary interests
33DJ Declaration of pecuniary interests
If a Commissioner has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in a matter which he or she is considering or is about to consider in the course of performing his or her duties, the Commissioner must as soon as practicable after the Commissioner has become aware of the relevant facts declare the nature of that interest to the other Commissioners.
Subsection (1) does not apply if the interest is as a result of the supply of goods or services that are available to members of the public on the same terms and conditions.
If a Commissioner has made a declaration under this section, the Commissioner must not take any further part in any decision in relation to the matter, unless the environment Minister directs otherwise.
An act or decision of the Water Holder is not invalid merely because of a failure to comply with this section.
