282: Certain decisions to be taken only if provided for in annual plan or
special consultative procedure used
You could also call this:
“Councils no longer need special plans or public input for certain decisions”
This provision is about how certain decisions must be made in local government. You need to know that this rule is no longer in effect. It was removed from the law on 27 November 2010. This means that local councils don’t have to follow this specific rule anymore when making decisions.
The rule used to say that some decisions could only be made if they were included in the annual plan or if a special process was used to ask the public for their thoughts. But now, this isn’t a requirement anymore.
If you want to know more about why this rule was removed, you can look at section 44 of the Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Act 2010. This section explains the changes that were made to the law.
