159: Activities in area within scope of planning document prepared by customary marine title group

You could also call this:

"Doing things in areas with special marine plans"

Illustration for Natural Environment Bill

If you want to do something in an area that is covered by a planning document made by a customary marine title group, the people who give permits must think about the things that matter to this law. They must look at what the planning document says and consider those things when deciding about your permit. The regional council must keep thinking about those things until they finish their work on their regional planning documents as required by the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011.
