(2) The
"effective day" is the day when the following instruments start to have effect—

(a) a planning instrument or designation;

(b) an amendment or repeal of a planning instrument or designation.

(3) If this chapter requires public notice of the instrument to be published, the effective day is—

(a) the day on which the notice is published in the gazette; or

(b) a later day stated in—

(i) the notice; or

(ii) the instrument.

(4) However, with the Minister’s agreement in writing, the effective day for the making or amendment of a TLPI is the day when the local government, at a public meeting, resolved to give the TLPI or amendment, and the request for an earlier effective day, to the Minister for approval.

(5) Also, if under this chapter a planning instrument may be repealed by a later planning instrument, the repeal starts to have effect when the later planning instrument starts to have effect.
