Natural Environment Bill

Natural resource permits - Consideration of application and decision

164: Matters for which permit must not be granted

You could also call this:

"When You Can't Get a Permit to Use Natural Resources"

Illustration for Natural Environment Bill

You cannot get a natural resource permit if it goes against certain rules. These rules include things like clause 3 of Schedule 4, regulations, and wāhi tapu conditions. You also cannot get a permit if it was not notified when it should have been. You cannot get a permit if it would break environmental limits, unless it is allowed by national standards or a water services standard. National standards are made under section 86. A water services standard is another type of rule that applies. A permit authority has to follow these rules when deciding whether to grant a natural resource permit.
