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

165ZW: Type of activity in relation to concurrent activities

You could also call this:

“Rules for how to handle activities when a plan change and application happen at the same time”

When a plan change request has been accepted and made public, you need to treat the related application as a non-complying activity. This means the regional council will look at it as if it’s not allowed under the current rules.

After the regional council decides on the plan change request, they will then consider and make a decision on your application. They will treat your activities as either controlled, restricted discretionary, discretionary, or non-complying. This depends on what the council decided about the plan change request that relates to your application.
