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.

Natural Environment Bill

Natural resource permits - Nature of permits, commencement, duration and review - Review of permit conditions by permit authority

191: Powers under Part 6 not affected

You could also call this:

"The Environment Court's power to change permits stays the same."

Illustration for Natural Environment Bill

If a permit authority reviews permit conditions, it does not affect the Environment Court's power. The Environment Court can still change or cancel a natural resource permit using an enforcement order under Part 6. This means the Environment Court's power remains the same, even if the permit conditions are reviewed.
