                      (ii) guidelines made by the chief executive;
                (f)   for chapter 12, part 3A—auditors;
                (g)   other documents or information prescribed under
                      regulation.
          (2)   A reference to a document in subsection (1) includes a

541        Keeping of registers
          (1)   This section applies if the chief executive or administering
                authority (the relevant entity) is required to keep a register
                under section 540 or 540A.
          (2)   If the relevant entity considers it impracticable to include a
                document in a register, it may include details of the document
                in the register instead of the document.
          (3)   However, if the register only includes details of a document—
                (a)   the relevant entity must keep the document open for
                      public inspection in the way required of a register under
                      section 542; and
                (b)   section 542 applies to the document as if it were
                      included in a register.
          (4)   If particulars of any land are recorded in the environmental
                management register or contaminated land register, they must
                include the real property description of the land.
          (5)   Subject to subsections (2) to (4), the relevant entity may keep
                a register in the way it considers appropriate, including, for
                example, on a website.
