238: Duties of building consent authority
or “The building consent authority must follow rules when approving buildings and share information with other important groups.”
You could also call this:

“A special group must tell the boss some important details about buildings.”

If you are a building consent authority, you have to give information to the chief executive. The law says you must do this. You need to follow the rules in the regulations about what information to give and how to give it. The chief executive is an important person in charge, and they need this information to do their job properly.
