165ZFC: Interpretation

You could also call this:

“This explains the meaning of special words used in rules about processing coastal permits together”

In this part of the law, you’ll learn what some important words mean when talking about processing and hearing applications for coastal permits together.

An “affected application” is when someone applies for a coastal permit to use space in the common marine and coastal area. This application needs to be processed and heard together with other applications. It also includes any related applications that need to be processed and heard together.

When a rule in a proposed regional coastal plan “comes into force”, it means that the rule now has legal effect.

A “PHT requirement” is short for “processed and heard together requirement”. This means that an application must be processed and heard at the same time as other applications. This requirement comes from a rule or a notice in the government’s official newspaper, called the Gazette.

These definitions help you understand the rules about how coastal permit applications are handled when they need to be considered together.
