2AA: Definitions relating to notification

You could also call this:

"What special words mean when people are told about resource consent applications"

When you apply for a resource consent or have something to do with a resource consent, some special words are used. These words are used for things like applying for a resource consent, reviewing a resource consent, or changing a condition of a resource consent. You will see these words used in relation to other matters too.

The term "affected customary marine title group" refers to a group with a specific meaning given in section 95G. You are an "affected person" if you are considered one under section 95E or 149ZCF. There is also a term "affected protected customary rights group" which has a meaning given in section 95F.

You might hear the term "limited notification" which means serving notice to affected people within a certain time limit, as specified by section 95, 169(1), or 190(1). "Notification" can be either public or limited, and it's about telling people about an application or matter. "Public notification" means giving public notice in a certain way, as required by section 2AB, and within a certain time limit, as specified by section 95, 169(1), or 190(1), and also serving notice to every prescribed person.
