Northern Territory Consolidated Acts Northern Territory Consolidated Acts14. Operations outside area
(1) A council may provide services outside its own area but cannot exercise its regulatory powers outside its own area except:
(a) by mutual agreement with the council in whose area the powers are to be exercised; or
(b) if the powers are to be exercised outside council areas - with the Minister's consent.
(2) However, a council may exercise regulatory and other powers outside its own area without the agreement of another council or the Minister's consent (as the case requires), if the occasion for exercising the powers arises from circumstances occurring in the council's area.
Example
A dangerous dog attacks a child in the area of council A and becomes liable to seizure and destruction under the by-laws of that council. The dog is removed to the area of council B. In this case, council A may (without the agreement of council B) have the dog seized and destroyed in the area of council B.
