117: Application to carry out restricted coastal activity
or “Rules for asking permission to do special things at the beach or in the sea”

You could also call this:

“A group listens to people's ideas and tells the big bosses what they think should happen near the beach.”

This section of the law used to talk about the recommendations made by a hearing committee for restricted coastal activities. However, it has been removed from the Resource Management Act 1991. The government took it out on 1 October 2009. This means that this part of the law no longer applies, and you don’t need to worry about it anymore. If you want to know more about why this change was made, you can look at section 90 of the Resource Management (Simplifying and Streamlining) Amendment Act 2009.
