Resource consents - Review of consent conditions by consent authority

133A: Minor corrections of resource consents

You could also call this:

“Fixing small mistakes in permission slips for using land or resources”

When a group called a consent authority gives you permission to do something with resources, they can fix small mistakes in that permission. They have 20 working days after they give you the permission to do this. If they find any little errors or things that aren’t quite right, they can give you a new, fixed version of the permission. This helps make sure that your permission is correct and doesn’t have any small problems that might cause confusion later.
