141C: Form and effect of Minister's direction

You could also call this:

"What the Minister's direction means and how it works"

A Minister's direction is a rule they make about something. You can find the details of this rule in section 141C, but it is no longer in use. It was stopped being used on 1 October 2009 by section 100 of the Resource Management (Simplifying and Streamlining) Amendment Act 2009.

The rule used to be part of the Resource Management Act 1991, which is a law that helps manage New Zealand's environment. When the Minister made a direction, it had a certain effect, but this is no longer the case. The direction is not used anymore because it was repealed.
