Resource Management Act 1991

Occupation of common marine and coastal area - Duration of coastal permits for marine farms extended

165ZFHC: Extension of coastal permits for marine farms

You could also call this:

"Extending the time limit for coastal permits for marine farms"

Illustration for Resource Management Act 1991

You have a coastal permit for a marine farm. The expiry date is extended. It is extended to either 20 years after it would normally expire or 31 December 2050, whichever is sooner. No extension can go past 31 December 2050. You still have to follow the conditions of your permit. But if you need to change a condition because your permit is being extended, you can do that. If someone is appealing your permit, the conditions will be decided when the appeal is final. This change does not affect the power to review your permit conditions under subpart 1B.
