402: Regulations: general
or “ This section explains that the government can make rules about building things, like how much money people pay for licenses, what information builders need to give, and how to make sure buildings are safe. ”
You could also call this:

“The boss must check if the rules about approving building plans are working well”

The chief executive has a special job to do. Within 2 years after new rules are made about national multiple-use approvals, the chief executive needs to do two things. First, they need to look at how long it takes to decide if a national multiple-use approval should be given. They will check if this time limit is working well. Second, they need to write a report for the Minister about what they found out. This report will explain if the time limit is good or if it needs to be changed. These tasks help make sure the rules are working as they should.
