165S: Authorisation transferable

You could also call this:

“You can give your permission to use coastal space to someone else, but you need to tell the council first.”

You can transfer your authorisation, or part of it, to someone else. This means you can give your permission to another person. However, for the transfer to be official, you must tell the regional council about it in writing.

There might be some rules about transferring authorisations. These rules can be found in two places. First, in the Gazette notice that was used to give out the authorisations. Second, in the regional coastal plan that was used when the authorisations were given. You need to follow these rules when transferring your authorisation.
