Coastal tendering

161: Grant of authorisation

You could also call this:

“The Minister gives written permission to the chosen person and tells the local council about it.”

When the Minister accepts a tender or makes a satisfactory agreement, they will give written permission to the successful person. This permission is called an authorisation. The Minister decides what the authorisation should look like.

The Minister must also send a copy of this authorisation to the regional council in charge of that area.
