357AB: Objection under section 357A(1)(f) or (g) may be considered by hearings commissioner
or “A special person can review your complaint about certain decisions if you ask”
You could also call this:

“You can disagree if you're asked to pay extra money for things related to managing resources.”

You have the right to object if you’re asked to pay extra money in certain situations. Here’s when you can object and to whom:

If a local authority tells you to pay an extra charge under section 36(5) or costs under section 149ZD(1), you can object to that local authority about having to pay.

If the EPA (Environmental Protection Authority) asks you to pay costs under section 149ZD(2) or (3), you can object to the EPA about having to pay.

If the Minister asks you to pay costs under section 149ZD(4), you can object to the Minister about having to pay.
