Resource Management Act 1991

Miscellaneous provisions

353: Notices and consents in relation to Maori land

You could also call this:

“Special rules for Maori land owners when they get a notice under the Resource Management Act”

When you own Maori land, special rules apply if you get a notice under the Resource Management Act. These rules are in Part 10 of Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993. If you need to do something after getting a notice, you might get extra time to do it.

You can get up to 20 extra working days to do what the notice says, unless the local authority or the EPA says otherwise. This extra time is based on section 181(4) of Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993. The local authority or the EPA can decide to give you more or less time if they want to.
