Miscellaneous provisions applying to this Act generally - Transport instruments

452C: Procedures relating to transport instruments

You could also call this:

"How to make and change transport rules fairly by talking to others"

When you make, amend, or revoke a transport instrument, you must consult with the people and organisations you think are appropriate. You do this by talking to them about the proposed instrument, amendment, or revocation, and considering what they have to say. This helps you make sure you are making the right decision.

If you need to make a small change to a transport instrument, like fixing a spelling mistake, you can do this without consulting everyone. You can approve the change on your own if you are satisfied it is just a minor correction.

You can find more information about the rules for transport instruments in the Regulatory Systems (Transport) Amendment Act 2021.
