425A: Functions and powers in respect of activities on or in Lake Taupo

You could also call this:

“Rules for Lake Taupo: who's in charge of activities on the lake”

When it comes to activities on or in Lake Taupo, some rules apply. You need to know that local authorities do not have power over some activities on the lake. The government ministers and other officials were in charge of these activities before this law was made. They were in charge under laws like the Maori Land Amendment and Maori Land Claims Adjustment Act 1926, the Harbours Act 1950, and the Lake Taupo Regulations 1976.

For this law, Lake Taupo means the same as it does in the Lake Taupo Regulations 1976. This law is about who is in charge of activities on the lake. It helps you understand what rules apply to Lake Taupo.
