165Y: Grant of authorisation

You could also call this:

“The council must give permission if they agree with someone's offer.”

If you make an offer to use a coastal area and the regional council accepts it, or if you and the council come to an agreement about your offer, the council must give you permission to use that area. This permission is called an authorisation. The council doesn’t have a choice in this matter - if they’ve accepted your offer or agreed with you, they have to give you the authorisation.
