165ZL: Interpretation
or “This part explains special words used when talking about rules for using the beach and sea”

You could also call this:

“This part of the law tells us how other rules work together with these special rules for using shared sea areas.”

This part of the law explains how other parts of the Resource Management Act apply when you’re dealing with concurrent applications and plan change requests for the common marine and coastal area.

The usual rules for consent applications and plan change requests still apply, but they might be changed by what this part of the law says.

You don’t have to pay any fees for concurrent applications that might normally be charged under section 360(1)(hj).

Some parts of Part 6 of the Act don’t apply to concurrent applications. These include sections 88A to 88E, 91A, 95 to 95G, 96(7), 97, 99 to 103A, 115, and 121(1)(c).
