89: Minor corrections

You could also call this:

"Fixing small mistakes in decision documents"

Illustration for Fast-track Approvals Act 2024

You can get a decision document changed if it has small mistakes. A panel can issue an amendment to correct minor errors within 20 working days. They can fix mistakes in a designation before it is added to a district plan or before 40 working days have passed since any appeals have been finalised, whichever comes first. You might see changes to a decision document if a panel corrects minor omissions or defects. They can do this under section 88(1) or clause 30 of Schedule 5. They must make these changes before certain deadlines, such as when appeals under section 99 have been exhausted. A panel has to follow rules when making minor corrections to a decision document. They have to make changes within a certain time frame, such as 40 working days after appeals have been finalised. This helps ensure that decision documents are accurate and up-to-date.
