87AAD: Overview of application of this Part to boundary activities and fast-track applications
or “This section explains how the rules for getting permission to build or do things near property boundaries are different from normal rules.”
You could also call this:

“A special quick way to get permission for building projects is still available, even though some laws have changed.”

Even though the Natural and Built Environment Act 2023 has been cancelled, Schedule 10 from that Act is still in effect. However, there are some changes to it. These changes are listed in Schedule 1 of the Resource Management (Natural and Built Environment and Spatial Planning Repeal and Interim Fast-track Consenting) Act 2023. This means that parts of the old law are still being used, but with some updates. These rules are about a faster way to get resource consents, which are permissions you need for certain activities that might affect the environment.
