17P: Relationship with Resource Management Act 1991

You could also call this:

"How the Conservation Act and Resource Management Act work together to protect the environment."

If you want to do something that affects the environment, you may need to get a resource consent under the Resource Management Act 1991. This Part of the law does not change that. You still need to follow the rules in the Resource Management Act 1991 and get a resource consent if you need one. If the Minister grants you a lease, some parts of the Resource Management Act 1991 do not apply, such as Section 11 and Part 10. You should check what rules apply to your lease.
