149ZC: Minister to decide whether application or notice of requirement to be notified
or “The Minister chooses if everyone or just some people should know about a special request”
You could also call this:

“These sections explain how to decide if people should be told about a special application.”

Sections 149ZCB to 149ZCF apply to two important steps in a process. The first step is when the EPA (Environmental Protection Authority) makes a recommendation under section 149ZB. The second step is when the Minister makes a decision under section 149ZC. These sections are about deciding whether to notify people about an application or a notice that’s related to section 149ZB. This means they’re figuring out if they need to tell people about something that’s been applied for or a notice that’s been given.
