133: Powers under Part 12 not affected
or “The Environment Court can still use its special powers to change or cancel resource consents, even if other rules say otherwise.”
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.
