Resource Management Act 1991

Aquaculture moratorium

150E: Transitional provision

You could also call this:

“This rule explained what to do during the change from old to new aquaculture laws, but it's no longer used.”

This part of the law used to be about a temporary rule for aquaculture, which is fish farming in the ocean. The rule was called a ‘transitional provision’. It was part of the Resource Management Act 1991, which is a big set of rules about how we use New Zealand’s natural resources.

However, this rule doesn’t exist anymore. It was removed from the law on 1 January 2005. When a rule is taken out of a law, we say it has been ‘repealed’.

The change that removed this rule was made by another law called the Resource Management Amendment Act (No 2) 2004. If you want to know more about why this rule was removed, you can look at section 12 of that law.
