This law is about how you can use land, air, and water. It covers rules for using these resources. You will find information about what you can and cannot do with land, air, and water in this law.
The law aims to make the rules about using land, air, and water clearer and more up-to-date. It brings together and updates the existing rules to make them easier to understand. This helps you know what is allowed and what is not when it comes to using land, air, and water.
You can think of this law as a way to organise and improve the rules that already exist. It does not introduce completely new ideas, but rather restates and reforms the current law to make it better. This law is important because it helps you understand how to use land, air, and water responsibly.
