161: Grant of authorisation
or “The Minister gives written permission to the chosen person and tells the local council about it.”
You could also call this:

“Getting permission to use the coast doesn't mean you can do whatever you want there.”

If you get permission to use a coastal area under section 161, it doesn’t mean you automatically get a coastal permit for that area. Even if you do get a coastal permit later, there are some rules about it.

For activities that involve taking materials from the coastal area, as mentioned in section 152(1)(b), your permit can’t last longer than the time you were given permission for. Also, you can’t take more materials or take them faster than what you were allowed in your original permission.

Your coastal permit also has to follow the rules in section 112.
