141: Interpretation
or “This section explains important words and phrases used in the law about big resource projects.”
You could also call this:

“The Minister can step in and make decisions about important projects for the country.”

This part of the law used to be about the Minister’s power to step in for important national proposals. However, it’s no longer part of the current law. The government removed this section on 1 October 2009. If you want to know more about why this change happened, you can look at section 100 of another law called the Resource Management (Simplifying and Streamlining) Amendment Act 2009.
