Section 182 — Resource Management Act 1991: Removal of designation

182 Removal of designation (1) If a requiring authority no longer wants a designation or part of a designation, it shall give notice in the prescribed form to— (a) The territorial authority concerned; and (b) Every person who is known by the requiring authority to be the owner or occupier of any land to which the designation relates; and (c) Every other person who, in the opinion of the requiring authority, is likely to be affected by the designation. (2) As soon as reasonably practicable after receiving a notice under subsection (1) , the territorial authority shall, without further formality, amend its district plan accordingly. (3) The provisions of Schedule 1 shall not apply to any removal of a designation or part of a designation under this section. (4) This section shall apply, with all necessary modifications, to a notice by a territorial authority to withdraw its own designation or part of a designation within its own district. (5) Notwithstanding subsections (2) to (4) , where a territorial authority considers the effect of the removal of part of a designation on the remaining designation is more than minor, it may, within 20 working days of receipt of the notice under subsection (1) , decline to remove that part of the designation. (6) A requiring authority may object, under section 357 , to any decision to decline removal of part of a designation under subsection (5) . Section 182 was substituted, as from 7 July 1993, by section 96 Resource Management Amendment Act 1993 (1993 No 65).
