Port Authorities Act 1999

A port authority may, by instrument in writing, delegate the performance of any of its functions, except this power of delegation.

A delegation under subsection (1) may be made to —

a director or directors; or

the CEO; or

a member of staff; or

a committee established under the GTE Act section 26(1); or

any other person.

A delegate cannot subdelegate the performance of any function unless the delegate is expressly authorised by the instrument of delegation to do so.

A function performed by a delegate of a port authority is to be taken to be performed by the port authority.

A delegate performing a function 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 is to be read as limiting the ability of a port authority to act through its officers and agents in the normal course of business.

This section does not apply to the execution of documents.
