165Z: Tender money
or “Money from successful tenders is shared between the council and the government, but unsuccessful bidders get their money back.”

You could also call this:

“The council must use the money it gets from tenders to help look after the sea and coast in its area.”

If you are a regional council and you receive money from tenders, you must use that money to help achieve the goals of the Resource Management Act in the coastal marine area of your region. This means you should spend the money on projects or activities that protect, manage, or improve the coastal environment in your area.
