133BY: Resource consent not required for certain works
or “Some building work doesn't need special permission from the council”
You could also call this:

“The Minister or council can share helpful information with emergency management people.”

The Minister or a territorial authority can share important information with people who are using powers under Parts 4, 5, 5A, or 5B of the CDEM Act in the same area. They can do this even if the designation is no longer active.

The information they can share is called ‘relevant information’. This means information that the Minister or territorial authority has from doing their job under this part of the law. They can share this information if they think it will help the person receiving it to do their job better.
