322: Regional councils to pay rents, royalties, and other money received into Crown Bank Account

You could also call this:

"Regional councils must pay money they collect to the government's bank account"

Illustration for Natural Environment Bill

If you get a permit to use land or natural resources, you have to pay money to the government. You pay this money to your local regional council, who collects it on behalf of the government. The regional council then puts this money into a special government bank account, following the rules of the Public Finance Act 1989.
