Pest management - Regional pathway management plans

100G: Minor changes to plans

You could also call this:

"Small changes to pest management plans can be made without a big review"

The Minister can ask the Governor-General to make small changes to a national pest management plan or a national pathway management plan. You need to know that this can happen without a big review under section 100D, if the Minister thinks the change will not affect people's rights and obligations much and is not inconsistent with the national policy direction. The Minister must be satisfied that the change meets these conditions.

The Governor-General can then make the order to change the plan. You should be aware that this order is a type of law called secondary legislation, which has its own publication requirements - you can learn more about this in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.

A council can also make small changes to a regional pest management plan or a regional pathway management plan, without a big review under section 100D, if the council thinks the change will not affect people's rights and obligations much and is not inconsistent with the national policy direction.
