(c) if the temporary State planning policy has effect only in a part of the State—the name, or a description, of the part of the State; and

(d) where a copy of the temporary State planning policy may be inspected or purchased.

(5) The Minister must give a copy of the notice, and the temporary State planning policy, to each affected local government.

(6) The temporary State planning policy has effect for 2 years from the effective day, or a shorter period stated in the policy, unless repealed sooner.
