126: Interface with Resource Management Act 1991

You could also call this:

“How the Resource Management Act fits with changes to the Waitaki Power Scheme”

This law talks about how the Resource Management Act 1991 works with the rules for changing the Waitaki Power Scheme. You need to know that some parts of the Resource Management Act don’t apply to the Waitaki Power Scheme changes. Specifically, Sections 88 to 121 and 127 of that Act don’t matter for these changes.

You also can’t appeal any decisions made about the Waitaki Power Scheme changes. This means you can’t ask someone else to look at the decision again if you don’t like it.

Lastly, the law wants to make it clear that the Waitaki Catchment Water Allocation Regional Plan stays the same. Even if permits are moved or changed under these new rules, it doesn’t change how the Water Allocation Plan affects those permits.
