117: Statutory acknowledgements to be attached to natural environment plans

You could also call this:

"Adding important regional acknowledgements to environment plans"

Illustration for Natural Environment Bill

If a region has statutory acknowledgements, they must be added to the natural environment plan for that region. The rules that create these acknowledgements still apply. When an acknowledgement is added to a plan, it is for people to know about, but it is not officially part of the plan unless the regional council decides to include it.
