(1) If a housing land supply order includes (including by virtue of an amendment under section 8(1) ) a provision, referred to in section 4(2) , specifying an intended zone in relation to an area of land or part of an area of land, the Minister, by notice in writing to the Commission, is to direct the Commission to amend the zoning map in relation to the area of land or the part.
(2) If the Commission is given a direction under subsection (1) in relation to the intended zone in relation to an area of land or part of an area of land, the Commission, within 14 days or a longer period allowed by the Minister, must amend the zoning map that forms part of the applicable planning scheme, so that the intended zone is assigned by the zoning map to the area of land or the part, respectively.
(3) If a housing land supply order is amended under section 8(1) so that a provision referred to in section 4(2) is revoked in relation to an area of land or part of an area of land and no other such provision is included in the order in relation to the area of land or the part, the Minister is to direct the Commission to amend the zoning map in relation to the area of land or the part, respectively.

(a) assigned the same zone that was assigned to it before the area of land or part became housing supply land; or
