152: Order in Council may be made requiring holding of authorisation
or “The Government can decide that you need special permission to do certain things in coastal areas.”
You could also call this:

“This rule explains which coastal activities are not affected by new government orders”

An Order in Council for coastal tendering doesn’t apply to certain things. It doesn’t affect applications for coastal permits made before the Order came into force. It also doesn’t affect applications for coastal permits to do things that would otherwise break specific laws, even if they’re made after the Order came into force. These laws are about water use, discharges, and coastal marine areas.

The Order doesn’t apply to applications covered by certain sections of the law. It also doesn’t affect applications for coastal permits that are renewals of existing permits.

Things that were already happening when the Order came into force aren’t affected. This includes existing coastal permits, certain leases and licences, allowed activities in the coastal marine area, and any other lawful activities.
