Resource Management Act 1991

Occupation of common marine and coastal area - Managing occupation in common marine and coastal area - Processing and hearing together of applications for coastal permits

165ZFH: Effect of requirement that applications be processed and heard together on lodgement of applications with EPA

You could also call this:

“Applications for certain coastal permits can't be sent to the Environmental Protection Agency once a special rule is in place.”

From the date when a requirement to process and hear applications together comes into effect, you can’t submit any affected applications to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) under section 145. This rule applies to coastal permits that are part of the ‘Processing and hearing together of applications’ process. It means that once the requirement is in place, you need to follow a different process for submitting these specific types of applications, rather than sending them directly to the EPA.
