Sections 92 and 93 specify circumstances in which a council does not have to

approval is being sought, but may rely on an accreditation or certification of
a competent person.
A component, process or design relating to an activity may be accredited in
accordance with the procedure set out in Division 5 of this Part.
Section 732 exempts a council, councillor or employee of a council from
