Delegation by Minister
265 Delegation by Minister
The Minister may, by instrument, delegate to a person or body any function of the Minister under this Act, except this power of delegation.
The Minister is to cause the name or title of the delegate to be published in the Gazette as soon as is practicable after the making of the delegation concerned.
A delegate cannot subdelegate the exercise or performance of any function unless the delegate is expressly authorised by the instrument of delegation to do so.
A delegate exercising or performing a function as authorised under this section is to be taken to do so in accordance with the terms of the delegation unless the contrary is shown.
Nothing in this section limits the ability of the Minister to act through an officer or agent.
