When you look at the rules in the Resource Management Act, you need to consider what a declaration is. The law says that Section 310 needs to be looked at in a certain way. You have to think about whether some rules are part of a plan or not.

You have to decide if these rules are about things that are allowed, controlled, or not allowed. This helps you understand what activities are permitted, controlled, discretionary, or non-complying. The law wants you to be clear about what these rules mean.
