165ZT: Notification of accepted plan change request
or “The law explains when and how people are told about requests to change plans for using the sea and coast.”
You could also call this:

“The council must summarise what people say about changes to plans and applications, but no one can make extra comments on the applications.”

When someone asks for a change to a plan and applies for something at the same time, the regional council has to do a few things. They need to make a summary of what people say about the plan change request. They also need to make a summary of what people say about the application. The rules for making these summaries are the same for both.

You can find the rules for making these summaries in Clause 7 of Schedule 1 of this law. These rules apply to both summaries.

There’s one important difference, though. Usually, people can make more comments after seeing the first summary. But for the application that comes with the plan change request, no one is allowed to make extra comments. The rule that usually lets people make more comments is in clause 8 of Schedule 1, but it doesn’t apply in this case.
