Illustration for Offshore Renewable Energy Bill

Before the Minister decides on an application for a commercial permit, you need to know they must do a few things. The Minister must talk to the people mentioned in section 24, which is about talking to Māori groups. The Minister must also tell the public about an application that meets the requirements of section 26. The Minister has to follow these steps before they can grant a commercial permit. This is what the Minister must do as part of the process for offshore renewable energy permits.
