11 Allocation of authorisations to trustee in relation to staged developments and harbours

• (1) For the purposes of section 9, if the new space available for applications for coastal permits or allocation of authorisations in an aquaculture management area includes space in a staged development or a harbour, then—

  • (a) to comply with section 9(1), the public notice given by the regional council must identify 20% of the new space separately for each stage of the staged development or harbour; and

  • (b) to comply with section 9(3), that space must be representative of the new space available at each stage of the staged development or harbour; and

  • (c) to comply with section 9(4), the regional council must allocate to the trustee authorisations for that space.

  (2) The identification of space in a staged development under section 9(1) is to be treated as an interim identification and any necessary adjustments may be made at the time that authorisations for the space for that stage are made available for applications for coastal permits or allocation of authorisations.

  (3) If the space to which a staged development applies is not made available for the allocation of authorisations or applications for coastal permits, the regional council must not allocate authorisations for that space to the trustee.

  (4) In this section,—
