or “ Old rules about restricted areas in marine farms continue until new decisions are made ”
You could also call this:

“Rules for old permits now follow new rules set by the people in charge of giving out permits”

If you have a resource consent that was automatically given to you because of sections 383 to 387, or a mining permit that became a resource consent because of section 413, there might be some rules attached to it. These rules might say that a government minister, local council, or someone else can make decisions about your consent. From the day this law started, those decisions will now be made by the right consent authority instead of the minister, council, or other person. This doesn’t apply if you’re the one holding the consent.

401Conditions of deemed resource consents

  1. Where the conditions of any permission that is deemed to be a resource consent by virtue of any of sections 383 to 387, or of any mining privilege that is a deemed permit under section 413, provide that a Minister of the Crown, a local authority, or any other person may exercise any powers or discretions in relation to the permission (other than as the holder thereof), from the date of commencement of this Act those powers or discretions shall be exercised by the appropriate consent authority and not by the Minister, local authority, or person.
