165Q: When applications not to be made or granted unless applicant holds authorisation in accordance with Gazette notice
or “Rules about getting permission to use certain ocean areas when the government has a special way of giving out permits”

You could also call this:

“Getting permission to use a coastal area doesn't mean you can automatically do things there.”

When you get an authorisation, it doesn’t mean you’ll automatically get a coastal permit for that area. The authorisation doesn’t guarantee you’ll get a permit.

If you do get a coastal permit after having an authorisation, the permit must follow the rules set out in the authorisation. This means the permit can’t be for a longer time than what the authorisation says.

165RAuthorisation not to confer right to coastal permit

The granting of an authorisation does not confer any right to the grant of a coastal permit in respect of the space that the authorisation relates to.
However, if a coastal permit is granted to the holder of an authorisation, the permit must be within the terms of the authorisation, including not being granted for a period greater than the period specified in the authorisation.
