247: Amendments to Building Act 2004

You could also call this:

"Changes to the Building Act 2004 to match the new Land Transfer Act 2017"

You are looking at a law called the Building Act 2004. This law is being updated to match the Land Transfer Act 2017. The updates change some references to the old Land Transfer Act 1952 to the new Land Transfer Act 2017, which you can find on the New Zealand legislation website. When this section starts, it checks if a certain part of another law is in force. If it is not in force, the law is updated to replace the old Land Transfer Act 1952 with the new Land Transfer Act 2017 in section 133AL(5)(b) and section 133AL(5)(c). If the certain part of the other law is in force, the updates still happen to section 133AL(5)(b) and section 133AL(5)(c) to use the new Land Transfer Act 2017.
