Illustration for Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017

When you read this part of the law, some words have special meanings. You need to know what these words mean to understand the law. The law explains what these words mean. The law says 'additional land' means land that is not public conservation land, but the Department of Conservation is responsible for controlling fires on it. This can be because of a law, agreement, or other document. You can find more information about 'conservation area' in the Conservation Act 1987. The law also explains what 'public conservation land' means. It includes conservation areas, national parks, and some government purpose reserves. You can find more information about national parks in the National Parks Act 1980. The law also mentions the Reserves Act 1977 and the Forest and Rural Fires Act 1977. The Minister of Conservation can declare land to be public conservation land by notice in the Gazette. But some land is not included, like land reserved from sale or other disposition under Part 4A of the Conservation Act 1987. You can find more information about reserves in the Reserves Act 1977. The law also mentions the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011.
