88F: Excluded time periods relating to pre-request aquaculture agreements

You could also call this:

"Time waiting for aquaculture agreements doesn't count in coastal permit deadlines"

When you apply for a coastal permit to do aquaculture activities in the coastal marine area, you can ask the consent authority to wait before making a decision. You do this so you can negotiate a pre-request aquaculture agreement under section 186ZM of the Fisheries Act 1996. This is only if it's your first request for this purpose.

The time the consent authority takes to wait for you to negotiate the agreement does not count towards the time limit under section 88B. This waiting period starts when you make the request and ends on the earlier of two dates. The first date is 80 working days after you make the request. The second date is when you tell the consent authority you want them to continue with your application.

You need to notify the consent authority when you want them to continue with your application, and this will end the waiting period.
