Plain language law

New Zealand law explained for everyone

Local Government Act 2002

Regulatory, enforcement, and coercive powers of local authorities - Removal orders - Application of certain other Acts

222: Provisions of Resource Management Act 1991 and Building Act 2004 continue to apply

You could also call this:

“Rules about changing fences, structures, and plants still work with other building laws”

This part of the law explains how different rules work together. You need to know that sections 215 to 221 and Schedule 14 of the Local Government Act 2002 still apply. These sections are about removing or changing fences, structures, or plants. They work alongside other rules in the Local Government Act, the Resource Management Act 1991, and the Building Act 2004. This means you have to follow all these rules, not just one set. The only exception is if Schedule 14 or sections 215 to 221 say something different. In that case, you follow what those specific parts say.
