264 Power to charge (1) An Authority may, by by-law or otherwise, set charges for anything it does in the performance of its functions, including any function delegated to it. S. 264(1A) inserted by No. 99/2005 s. 63. (1A) An Authority that is acting as a delegate of the Minister in performing a function under this Act may, despite section 9(2) of the **Financial Management Act 1994** or any other provision of any Act or rule of law to the contrary— (a) collect any fee or charge that is authorised by or under this Act to be imposed for the performance of the function; and (b) retain the fee or charge so collected— as if the Authority were performing the function in its own right and not as delegate of the Minister. (2) A by-law made under subsection (1) may prescribe a charge by reference to a number (whether whole or fractional) of charge units and that charge may be determined by multiplying the number of charge units by a number of dollars fixed by resolution of the Authority. (3) The power in subsection (1) is in addition to any other powers of an Authority under this Division. S. 264A (Heading) inserted by No. 85/2006 s. 112(1). S. 264A inserted by No. 69/1993 s. 7.
