Resource Management Act 1991

Occupation of common marine and coastal area - Plan change requests and concurrent applications for coastal permits in relation to aquaculture activities

165ZR: Concurrent application to be declined or treated as withdrawn if plan change request declined or withdrawn

You could also call this:

“If a plan change request is rejected or withdrawn, the related application for aquaculture activity is also cancelled or withdrawn.”

If a regional council rejects a plan change request, your concurrent application will no longer be valid. This is stated in clause 25(4) of Schedule 1.

Sometimes, a regional council might only accept part of a plan change request. If this happens and the aquaculture activity in your concurrent application is still not allowed, the regional council must decline your concurrent application. This is based on the decision made under clause 25(2)(b) of Schedule 1.

If someone withdraws a plan change request, or it’s considered withdrawn under clause 28 of Schedule 1, your concurrent application related to that request will also be treated as if it was withdrawn.

Part 7A Occupation of common marine and coastal area
Plan change requests and concurrent applications for coastal permits in relation to aquaculture activities

165ZRConcurrent application to be declined or treated as withdrawn if plan change request declined or withdrawn

  1. If, under clause 25(4) of Schedule 1, a regional council rejects a plan change request, then the concurrent application lapses.

  2. If, under clause 25(2)(b) of Schedule 1, a regional council accepts a plan change request in part so that the aquaculture activity that the concurrent application relates to remains a prohibited activity, then the regional council must decline the concurrent application as a result of the decision made under clause 25(4) of Schedule 1.

  3. If a plan change request is withdrawn or deemed to be withdrawn under clause 28 of Schedule 1, the concurrent application that relates to the plan change request is to be treated as having been withdrawn.
