153: Application of Order in Council
or “This rule explains which coastal activities are not affected by new government orders”
You could also call this:

“Telling everyone about a new rule for coastal areas”

When the Minister makes an Order in Council about coastal tendering, they need to do a few things quickly. First, they must give a copy of the Order to the regional council in charge of that area. Then, they need to tell several people about the Order and what it means. These people include:

  1. The Minister for the Environment
  2. Any local councils that have land in the area the Order covers
  3. The Māori people of that area, through their iwi authorities

The Minister does this by sending them a notice. This notice explains that the Order has been made and what it does.
