or “This rule explains how to take back ideas for new rules before they become official.”
You could also call this:

“Rules that used to cover both big and small areas in one document are no longer used.”

This part of the law has been removed. It used to be about combining regional and district documents, but it’s not in use anymore. The government took it out of the Resource Management Act 1991 on 1 October 2009. You don’t need to worry about this section because it doesn’t apply anymore.
