86G: Rule that has not taken legal effect or become operative excluded from references to rule in this Act and regulations made under this Act

You could also call this:

"Ignore rules in plans that are not yet official"

When you read this Act or the regulations made under it, you need to ignore any rules in a proposed plan that have not taken legal effect according to section 86B or have not become operative under section 86F. This means you do not consider those rules when you are looking at what the Act or regulations say. You only do this if the Act does not say something different.

If the Act says something different, you follow what it says. This is important to remember when you are reading about rules in proposed plans. You have to check if the rules have taken legal effect or become operative before you consider them.
