This section of the law, titled ‘Interpretation’, used to explain important terms related to the Hazards Control Commission in the Resource Management Act 1991. However, it’s no longer in use. On 2 July 2001, this part was removed from the law. The change was made by section 149 of the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996. This means that if you’re looking for explanations of terms about hazard control in this act, you’ll need to check other parts of the law or newer laws that deal with this topic.
