17A: Recognised customary activity may be exercised in accordance with any controls
or “You can do special cultural activities if you follow the rules”
You could also call this:

“This law used to explain how to check if customary activities might harm the environment, but it's no longer in use.”

This part of the law has been removed. It used to be about checking for bad effects of certain activities, but it’s not in use anymore. The government took it out of the law on 1 April 2011. If you want to know more about why this happened, you can look at section 128 of the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011.
