When you look at the law about considering proposals for new districts, you need to understand what some words mean. You are looking at a part of the law called 'Interpretation' which is section 37ZZO. This section was repealed, which means it is no longer part of the law, on 1 July 2003, by section 266 of the Local Government Act 2002. This change happened because of the Local Government Act 2002. The law that was changed is the Local Government Act 1974.
