Subject: Delegated Authorities At LCC

Dear Mayor, Aldermen and General Manager,
 
As you are aware I’ve been using Launceston as a case study within a research project that I’m doing in regard to ‘place, placemaking and placescaping’. Arguably, this is the fundamental and overarching function of Local Govt.

Also, you might remember that I’ve taken an interest in the notion of ‘Delegated Authorities’ in regard to that investigation and that I’ve raised questions in regard to this matter in the past.
 
When I was eventually able to secure a copy of Launceston Council’s Delegated Authorities it became clear that for whatever reason these authorities are/were granted to positions rather than to individual people. At the time I asked why this might be so and I have no record of an answer. Therefore I’m now asking:

• Does it remain the case that the delegation of authorities at Launceston City Council is assigned to a position/post and not an individual?
  

• If the assignment remains as being to a post/position, how does council, the aldermen collectively, assure itself that the person has the skills, qualifications and/or experience that would warrant them holding the particularly authority?
  

• What is the current practice employed in regard to the delegation of authorities and when was it last used?
  

I look forward to Council’s advice on this matter given its impact upon aldermen’s access to expert advice under SECTION 65 of Tasmania’s Local Govt. Act 1993.

Regards,

Ray
