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

157: Planning consent prevails over specified instruments

You could also call this:

"Planning consent is more important than some rules, like those for stormwater and wastewater."

Illustration for Planning Bill

If you get a planning consent before certain rules are made, the consent is more important than those rules. These rules include standards for stormwater and wastewater. You need to know that a planning consent can be about how to manage stormwater or wastewater. If the consent authority reviews the conditions of your planning consent under section 168(1)(c), things can change. The review might mean the standards for stormwater or wastewater are more important than your planning consent. This can happen if the review decides that one or both of these standards should prevail over your consent. You should be aware that this is a proposed change to the law, and it might affect how planning consents work in the future. The proposed change is part of the Planning Bill, which is a bill that aims to change the existing law. It is essential to understand that this is not the current law, but rather a proposed change to it.
