165S: Authorisation transferable

You could also call this:

“You can give your authorisation to someone else, but you must tell the council first.”

If you have an authorisation, you can transfer it to someone else, but the transfer is not complete until the regional council gets written notice of it. You can transfer the whole authorisation or just part of it. The regional council needs to know about the transfer before it can take effect.

When you transfer an authorisation, you need to check if there are any rules that limit how you can transfer it. These rules might be in the Gazette notice under section 165N that allocated the authorisation, or in the regional coastal plan that allocated it.

You should look at these rules to see if they apply to your authorisation transfer.
