165UA: Public notice of offer of authorisations by Minister of Aquaculture
or “The law says the government must tell everyone about special permissions for using parts of the sea and coast.”

You could also call this:

“Rules for asking permission to do things in certain places, including what you need to say and pay”

When you want to get permission to do something in a certain area, you need to make an offer. Your offer needs to say what you want to do and where you want to do it.

If you’re taking part in a tender, which is like a competition to get permission, you also need to say how much money you’ll pay and how you’ll pay it.

When you submit a tender, you need to give some money upfront or provide something else that the regional council agrees is just as good. You might also need to give extra information if they ask for it.

Whether you’re making an offer or a tender, you need to pay any fees that are required under section 36(1)(ca).

If your tender is chosen under section 165X, and you have to pay rent each year, the amount you pay might be reduced. This happens if you also have to pay charges for using the coastal area.
