154: Publication, etc, of Order in Council
or “Telling everyone about a new rule for coastal areas”

You could also call this:

“Write down information about the government's coastal decision on the regional plan, but don't make it part of the plan.”

When the regional council gets a copy of an Order in Council under section 154, they need to write down some details about it on their regional coastal plan or proposed regional coastal plan. This means they add a note about the Order to the plan. However, it’s important to know that this note isn’t actually part of the plan itself. It’s just there to show that the Order exists and is related to the plan.
