150: Residual powers of authorities

You could also call this:

“Authorities can still do some things even if they're not specifically mentioned in the rules.”

This section of the law has been removed. It used to be about the leftover powers that authorities had, but it’s not part of the law anymore. The government took it out on 1 October 2009 when they made some changes to make the Resource Management Act simpler and easier to use.
