19: Certain rules in proposed plans to be operative
or “Some rules in proposed plans can start working right away, even before the whole plan is approved.”
You could also call this:

“Some new rules in plans don't work right away”

This part of the law used to be about certain rules in proposed plans not having effect. However, it no longer exists. The government removed this section on 1 October 2009. They did this as part of changes made to simplify and streamline the Resource Management Act. If you want to know more about why this change happened, you can look at section 18 of the Resource Management (Simplifying and Streamlining) Amendment Act 2009.
