or “When people disagree about rules for protecting water and land, a special court can help fix the problem.”

This part of the law used to talk about what happens when there’s a disagreement about reviewing something under section 79A. However, this section doesn’t exist anymore. It was removed from the law on 1 April 2011. The government decided it wasn’t needed anymore, so they took it out of the Resource Management Act 1991.
