165YA: Grant of authorisation

You could also call this:

“The Minister tells the local council to give permission if someone's offer is accepted.”

If the Minister of Aquaculture agrees to an offer or makes a deal with someone who made an offer under section 165X, the Minister must tell the regional council in that area to give permission to that person. This permission is called an authorisation. You can think of it like getting special approval to do something in the water.
