77C: Certain activities to be treated as discretionary activities or prohibited activities

You could also call this:

“Rules about activities that need special permission or are not allowed at all”

This section of the law used to be about certain activities that were treated as discretionary or prohibited. However, it has been removed from the law. You no longer need to worry about this specific rule because it doesn’t exist anymore. The government took it out of the Resource Management Act 1991 on 1 October 2009. If you want to know more about why this change happened, you can look at section 61 of another law called the Resource Management (Simplifying and Streamlining) Amendment Act 2009.
