165Z: Tender money

You could also call this:

"Paying money when you apply for a permit or approval"

When you get an authorisation, you might need to pay some money as part of a tender. If you get a coastal permit to do something related to your authorisation, the regional council must send 50% of the money you paid to the Minister. The Minister then puts this money into a special Crown Bank Account, following the rules of the Public Finance Act 1989.

If your authorisation lapses under section 165T, the regional council must refund the money you paid as soon as possible. If you paid money as part of a tender but did not get an authorisation, and you paid under section 165V(3), the regional council must also refund your payment quickly.

You should know that the regional council and the Minister follow specific rules when handling the money you pay as part of a tender, and they must refund it in certain situations, such as when your authorisation lapses or you do not get an authorisation, and you can find more information about how the Minister handles the money in the Public Finance Act 1989, which is available at https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1986/0120/latest/link.aspx?id=DLM160808.
