The supplied notification page does not reproduce the full text of clauses (c) and (d). It therefore does not identify the transactions, approvals or property decisions to which these monetary amounts relate.
Who may be affected

A buyer, tenant, property owner or professional should check the complete Management and Preservation of Properties of Religious Institutions Rules to determine the purpose of the monetary limits and whether the relevant property matter falls within one of the amended items.
