165ZFA: Ministerial power to direct applications to be processed and heard together
or “The Minister can tell the regional council to look at fish farming applications together to manage their effects better.”
You could also call this:

“Rules for processing multiple requests to use shared ocean areas at the same time”

Sections 165ZFC to 165ZFH apply when a regional council needs to process and hear multiple applications for coastal permits together. These applications are for using space in the common marine and coastal area. This requirement can come from three different sources:

  1. A rule in a regional coastal plan or a proposed regional coastal plan under section 165F.

  2. A notice published in the New Zealand Gazette under section 165N.

  3. A notice published in the New Zealand Gazette under section 165ZFA.

If any of these sources require the regional council to process and hear applications together, then the rules in sections 165ZFC to 165ZFH will apply to that process.
