Section 345 — Building Act 2004: Criteria for appointment

345 Criteria for appointment (1) The Minister may recommend a person for appointment as a member of the Board only if, in the Minister's opinion, the person is qualified for appointment— (a) having regard to the functions, duties, and powers of the Board; and (b) because of that person's knowledge, experience, or expertise. (2) The Minister may accept nominations for membership of the Board, but each member is appointed to undertake the functions and duties of a member rather than to represent the interests of any person. (3) One member of the Board must be a barrister or solicitor of at least 5 years' standing.
