132: Decisions on review of consent conditions
or “The law explains how and when the rules for using natural resources can be changed or cancelled.”
You could also call this:

“The Environment Court can still use its special powers to change or cancel resource consents, even if other rules say otherwise.”

The powers given in Part 12 of the Resource Management Act 1991 are not changed by sections 127 to 132. This means that the Environment Court can still change or cancel a resource consent using an enforcement order under Part 12, even if other parts of the Act talk about reviewing consent conditions. These other sections don’t limit what the Environment Court can do.
