165ZO: Identifying plan change requests and concurrent applications
or “This rule explains how to show which plan changes and applications go together when asking to use shared sea and beach areas.”
You could also call this:

“When an application for ocean use is sent back because it's not complete, there's a 20-day time limit to fix it or it's cancelled.”

If you send in an application for a plan change and a resource consent at the same time (called a concurrent application), and it’s not complete, here’s what happens:

The regional council will send it back to you. They won’t do anything more with your plan change request unless you send the application back to them.

You have 20 working days from when you get the application back to send it in again. If you don’t send it back within this time, both your application and your plan change request will no longer be valid.

If you want to know more about why an application might be sent back, you can look at section 88(3A) of this law.
