25C: Status of approval when granted

You could also call this:

“What happens when you get an approval using this new law”

When you get an approval under this Act, it works the same as if you got it through the normal way. This means the approval lasts for as long as it says and follows the rules it sets out.

There are different types of approvals, and each one has its own set of rules. For example, if you get approval for a resource consent, a certificate of compliance, or a designation, you need to look at clause 24 of Schedule 4 to see how it works.

If you get approval for a concession, you should check clauses 8 and 8A of Schedule 5. For a land exchange approval, look at clauses 17G to 21 of Schedule 5.

There are also special rules for Wildlife Act approvals in clause 2 of Schedule 6, for archaeological authorities in clause 12A of Schedule 7, for marine consents in clauses 12 and 13 of Schedule 9, and for access arrangements in clause 9 of Schedule 10.

These rules help make sure that the approvals you get under this Act work properly and are treated the same as approvals you might get in other ways.
