118: Recommendation of hearing committee
or “A group listens to people's ideas and tells the big bosses what they think should happen near the beach.”

You could also call this:

This section of the law used to talk about how decisions were made for restricted coastal activities. However, it’s no longer in effect. The government removed this part of the law on 1 October 2009. If you want to know more about why this change happened, you can look at section 90 of the Resource Management (Simplifying and Streamlining) Amendment Act 2009.
