80F: Specified territorial authority must notify IPI
or “Certain city planners must tell everyone about their new housing plans by specific dates”
You could also call this:

“Rules about how cities can make special plans for more housing”

If you are a specified territorial authority, you can only do certain things with Intensification Planning Instruments (IPIs). You can only notify one IPI. You can only use the IPI for the purposes mentioned in section 80E. You are not allowed to withdraw the IPI.

If you are a local authority, you can only use the Intensification Streamlined Planning Process (ISPP) in the ways allowed by section 80F(3).

These rules make sure that the planning processes for intensification are used properly and don’t get misused or changed too much.
