34: Procedure for making ordinary rules

You could also call this:

“How the Minister makes new flying rules”

The Minister has to follow certain steps before making ordinary rules. First, they need to announce their plan to make a rule. This is like telling everyone what they’re going to do.

Next, the Minister has to talk to different groups of people. They need to ask for opinions from people in the aviation industry, other groups, government departments, and Crown agencies. It’s like asking for advice from experts and people who might be affected by the rule.

The Minister also needs to talk to a special group called the Environmental Protection Authority. They have to ask this group about any rules that involve moving dangerous substances. This is to make sure the rules are safe for the environment.

The Minister gets to decide how much they need to do each of these things. They can choose what works best for each situation. It’s like having some flexibility to do what makes sense for different rules.

Remember, these steps are important because they help make sure the rules are fair and that everyone who needs to know about them gets a chance to give their opinion.
