Mr Maxwell
provided some background about how these delegations had been dealt with in
the past. The intention of this paper is to bring all of the delegations
together, rather than piecemeal as had been done in the past. These
delegations are not new, the purpose of this is to bring everything together.
Mr Miller
stated that changes to the delegations had been made to reflect changes in
officer titles and to clarify where the delegation sat, i.e. specifically the
delegations to the CE. In 2003, the ability for the CE to delegate his
delegations further – to members of staff – was revoked. An overview and
explanation of the changes to the delegations was provided by the covering
paper.
It was noted
that the process for enforcement action started at officer level and CE had
final sign-off to proceed with significant actions.
In response to
a query in relation to the transfer of water take and use consents, it was
noted that there were provisions and delegations under RMA section 136 to
enable efficiency in dealing with those.
Delegations
for gravel extraction permits are held by specialist staff with specialist
knowledge and skills.
It was
suggested that a central Delegations Register be developed.
