195C: Notice of determination

You could also call this:

“The Minister must tell everyone about their decision and the local council must update their plan.”

When the Minister makes a decision about a heritage order under section 195B, they must let everyone know by putting a notice in the Gazette. This is like a special newspaper for official announcements.

If the heritage order affects a place or area in your local council’s district, the council needs to update their district plan. They have to change it to show that someone else is now responsible for the heritage order. They should do this as soon as they can, but they don’t need to follow the usual long process for changing the district plan that’s set out in Schedule 1.
