(1) Despite section 6,
a local government is not required to hold a licence to operate a facility in
its district but sections 13 and 31 and all subsidiary legislation made under
this Act apply to a local government which operates a facility in its district
as if it were the licence holder in respect of the facility.
(2) A local government
must ensure that all facilities that it operates in its district are inspected
in accordance with section 21 and that any works specification notice given
under that section is complied with as soon as is practicable.
