10 Work sites—authorities of the State

(1) For the purposes of section 18(1A)(b) of the Act, the following authorities of the State are prescribed—

(a) a Public Service agency specified in Schedule 1 to the Government Sector Employment Act 2013,

(b) a council or county council within the meaning of the Local Government Act 1993.

(2) For the purposes of section 18(1A)(b) of the Act, community service work may only be performed for an authority of the State prescribed by this clause in circumstances where arrangements satisfactory to the Secretary have been made in relation to the availability, location and type of work to be performed.

Note.

Section 18(1) of the Act provides that an assigned officer must not direct a person in respect of whom a children’s community service order is in force to perform community service work if, in performing the work, the person would take the place of another person who would otherwise be employed in that work as a regular employee. However, section 18(1A)(b) provides that section 18(1) does not prevent a direction being given that would otherwise contravene that prohibition as long as the community service work is to be performed for such authorities of the State, in such circumstances, as are prescribed by the regulations.
