Resource Management Act 1991

Transitional provisions - Provisions relating to all plans

379: Declarations

You could also call this:

“This law explains how to figure out if certain rules are part of a plan and what kinds of activities they allow.”

You can ask the Environment Court to make a declaration about certain things related to plans. This includes whether parts of some documents are considered to be part of a plan, and whether any of these parts or parts of a plan are thought to be a rule about an allowed activity, a controlled activity, a discretionary activity, or a non-complying activity. This is added to the list of things you can ask for declarations about in Section 310 of the Resource Management Act.
