5: Overview
or “This section explains what the different parts of the Building Act are about and how they work together.”
You could also call this:

“Rules that help people understand changes in the law and what happens during those changes”

The law says that Schedule 1AA contains special rules about how changes to the Building Act 2004 will work. These rules explain what happens during the change, what stays the same, and other related matters. You need to follow these rules exactly as they are written in Schedule 1AA.
