165R: Authorisation not to confer right to coastal permit

You could also call this:

“Having approval doesn't automatically mean you'll get a coastal permit”

If you get an authorisation, it does not mean you will get a coastal permit for the same area. You still need to apply for a coastal permit separately. The authorisation does not give you the right to a coastal permit.

If you do get a coastal permit, it must follow the rules of your authorisation. This means the permit cannot be for a longer time than your authorisation. The permit must also agree with what your authorisation says.

165RAuthorisation not to confer right to coastal permit

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
