or “This part of the law doesn't cover asking for permission to use the beach or sea areas.”

You could also call this:

In this part of the law, unless the context suggests otherwise, you need to understand these important terms:

When you see the word “authorisation,” it means permission given by the Minister of Conservation as outlined in section 161.

The “Minister” refers to the Minister of Conservation.

An “Order in Council” is a special type of order made under section 152.

These definitions help you understand what these terms mean when you see them used in this part of the law.
