or “The EPA can ask people to pay for help it gives them, but only for what it actually costs and what's fair.”

You could also call this:

“The boss of the Environment team can do the jobs of the Environmental Protection Authority.”

This section of the law used to talk about the Secretary for the Environment doing some jobs for the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA). However, this part of the law doesn’t apply anymore. It was taken out of the Resource Management Act 1991 on 1 July 2011. If you want to know more about why this change happened, you can look at section 9 of the Resource Management Amendment Act 2011.
