Plain language law

New Zealand law explained for everyone

This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Planning Bill

Planning consents - Nature of consents, commencement, duration and review - Review of consent conditions by consent authority

173: Powers under Part 6 not affected

You could also call this:

"The Environment Court's power to change or cancel planning consents remains the same."

Illustration for Planning Bill

If a consent authority reviews consent conditions, it does not affect the Environment Court's power. The Environment Court can still change or cancel a planning consent with an enforcement order under Part 6. This means the court's power remains the same, even if the consent authority reviews the conditions, as outlined in sections 167 to 172.
