119A: Coastal permit for restricted coastal activity treated as if granted by regional council

You could also call this:

"A coastal permit from the Minister is treated as if a regional council gave it to you."

If you get a coastal permit for a restricted coastal activity from the Minister of Conservation, it is treated in a special way. This special treatment applies from the later of two dates: 1 October 2009, or the date the permit was granted. You treat the permit as if the regional council gave it to you, and they are in charge of it from the date it was granted, you can find more information about the law that changed this in the Resource Management (Simplifying and Streamlining) Amendment Act 2009.
