When the financial responsibility for a project, work, or network utility operation is transferred from one requiring authority to another, the responsibility for any relevant designation is also transferred.

The requiring authority that transfers the responsibility for the designation must tell the Minister for the Environment and the relevant territorial authority about the transfer. The transfer will be noted in the district plan without using the process in Schedule 1. This is done for the purposes of section 175(2)(b).
