331C: Requirement for owner or occupier to give notice to relevant consent authority
or “The person who owns or lives on the land must tell the local council about emergency activities they do.”
You could also call this:

“You need to collect information, watch what's happening, and write things down.”

You need to gather information, keep an eye on things, and maintain records when you’re doing emergency activities as a rural landowner or occupier. This duty is part of the Resource Management Act 1991. However, this rule will no longer apply after 1 April 2024. At that time, it will be replaced by section 331F(1) of the same act.
