Resource Management Act 1991

Occupation of common marine and coastal area

165BC: Certain applications not to be processed or determined until aquaculture management area established in regional coastal plan

You could also call this:

“You can't ask for or decide on fish farming in the sea until there's a special area set aside for it in the local plan.”

This section of the law used to talk about certain applications for aquaculture activities. It explained that these applications couldn’t be processed or decided on until an aquaculture management area was set up in the regional coastal plan. However, this part of the law is no longer in effect. It was removed on 1 October 2011, which means it doesn’t apply anymore. If you want to know about current rules for aquaculture applications, you’ll need to look at other parts of the law that are still active.
