or “A council must look at changes to plans before deciding if someone can use the sea for fish farming.”

You could also call this:

“The council must decide and tell everyone about a shared request within 20 work days after they share their choice about changing the plan.”

When the regional council receives a plan change request and a concurrent application, they need to make a decision on the concurrent application. You should know that the council must publicly announce their decision within 20 working days after they have publicly notified their decision on the plan change request. The council will notify their decision on the plan change request according to clause 10(4) of Schedule 1. This ensures that the council’s decisions on related matters are made and announced in a timely manner.
