401B: Obligation to pay coastal occupation charge deemed condition of consent

You could also call this:

"You must pay a coastal charge if you use the coastal area, it's part of your permit."

If you have a coastal permit that lets you occupy part of the common marine and coastal area, you have to pay a charge. This charge is part of your permit, even if it is not written down. You must pay this charge to the regional council at all times while your permit is valid. The amount you pay is decided by the regional coastal plan, which must follow the rules set out in section 64A.
