This shall be done by the Minister or under guidelines issued by the Minister. The Minister may also establish new districts or alter boundaries of existing districts. A local authority shall discharge functions conferred on it by this Act within the area of that local authority, and may, with the approval of the Minister discharge that function outside the area of that local authority. The Minister shall, by a transfer and vesting order under the Second Schedule transfer to, or vest in a local authority, property, rights and obligations of a council established for a district by the repealed Local Government Act.
