List of Delegated Powers to Officers

The powers listed below are those specifically delegated by the Council to officers to enhance the efficient operation of Council services. Powers granted directly to appropriate officers under statute, and those implicit in the terms of contracts of employment of senior managers, are not covered exhaustively by this list.

The undernoted powers relate only to matters not specifically reserved to members of the Council in terms of the Council’s Scheme of Delegation.

Where reference is made to a specific statute or regulation, the power of delegation should apply to any subsequent statute or regulation bestowing similar or compatible powers.

Each Director may delegate any power within his remit, as appropriate, to an officer within his service.

Any reference herein to an officer’s authority to incur expenditure should be read in conjunction with the Council’s Financial Regulations and subject to available budgetary provision.
