Figure 2: Part 1 of Schedule 12 - Controls by the Minister of Conservation continued

Textual description of figure

The figure shows part of the process by which the Minister of Conservation (MOC) approves controls on a recognised customary activity (RCA), continued from Figure 1.

After the Adverse Effects Report (AER) is received, the MOC considers the report and the recommendation for any control/s to be imposed, and consults with the Customary Rights Order (CRO) holder and the Minister of Maori Affairs. The MOC may also seek any other relevant information.

In considering the control/s to be imposed, the MOC must have regard to the following: the effects of the activity on the environment; and any AER's; and the views of others consulted by the MOC; and any other relevant legislation.

In considering the control/s to be imposed, the MOC may have regard to the following: any relevant national policy statement; and the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement; and any relevant operative and proposed Regional Policy Statements; and any other relevant planning documents.

The MOC must decide within 60 working days from either the time the MOC has received the AER from the Regional Council, or, at the time of the MOC's decision to carry out the AER whether or not to impose any controls. Within the same 60 working days, and after making a decision the MOC must also give notice of the decision to impose any control/s to the RC, the holder of the CRO, the Minister of Maori Affairs and the CEO of the Ministry of Justice.
