Section 36C — Resource Management Act 1991: Local authority may act by itself under joint management agreement

36C Local authority may act by itself under joint management agreement (1) This section applies when a joint management agreement requires the parties to it to perform or exercise a specified function, power, or duty together. (2) The local authority may perform or exercise the function, power, or duty by itself if a decision is required before the parties to the joint management agreement can perform or exercise the function, power, or duty and the joint management agreement does not provide a method for making a decision of that kind. Sections 36A to 36E were inserted, as from 10 August 2005, by section 18 Resource Management Amendment Act 2005 (2005 No 87). See sections 131 to 135 of that Act as to the transitional provisions.
