104DA: Circumstances in which consent authority may grant resource consent contrary to standards and solutions

You could also call this:

"When you can get a resource consent even if it doesn't meet the rules"

Illustration for Resource Management Act 1991

You can get a resource consent even if it does not meet certain standards. This can happen if the consent is needed to follow Te Ture Whaimana o Te Awa o Waikato—the Vision and Strategy for the Waikato River. You might need to look at section 87A, section 104(2D) and (2E), section 105(3), section 107(4), section 123(aa) and (ab), or section 128 to understand this better.
