17H: Reviews of conservation management strategies and conservation management plans

You could also call this:

"Checking and updating conservation plans and strategies to protect New Zealand's environment"

The Director-General can review conservation management strategies and plans at any time after talking to the Conservation Boards. You need to follow the rules in section 17F when reviewing a conservation management strategy, and the rules in section 17G when reviewing a conservation management plan. These rules apply with any necessary changes.

The Director-General must review a conservation management strategy or plan every 10 years. The Minister can extend this time period after talking to the Authority or the Conservation Boards. When reviewing a strategy, the Director-General must consider matters in planning documents lodged under section 90 of the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 that are relevant to the strategy. You can find these documents by looking at the planning documents.
