22 Delegation
(1) The Council may, by resolution, either generally or as otherwise provided by the resolution, delegate to a member of the Council any of its powers under this Act, other than this power of delegation. (2) A power so delegated, when exercised by the delegate, shall, for the purposes of this Act, be deemed to have been exercised by the Council. (3) A delegation of a power under this section:
(a) may be revoked by resolution of the Council (whether or not constituted by the persons constituting the Council at the time the power was delegated);
(b) does not prevent the exercise of the power by the Council; and
(c) continues in force notwithstanding a change in the membership of the Council.
(4) Section 34A of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 applies in relation to a delegation under this section as if the Council were a person. (5) A certificate signed by the Chairperson of the Council stating any matter with respect to a delegation of a power under this section is prima facie evidence of that matter. (6) A document purporting to be a certificate mentioned in subsection (5) shall, unless the contrary is established, be deemed to be such a certificate and to have been duly given.
