MARITIME AREA PLANNING ACT 2021
REVISED
Updated to 16 June 2026
An Act to regulate the maritime area, to achieve such regulation by means of a National
Marine Planning Framework, maritime area consents for the occupation of the maritime
area for the purposes of maritime usages that will be undertaken for undefined or
relatively long periods of time (including any such usages which also require development
permission under the
Planning and Development Act 2000
) and licences for the occupation of the maritime area for maritime usages that are
minor or that will be undertaken for relatively short periods of time, to establish
a body corporate, the Maritime Area Regulatory Authority, to grant, revoke and suspend
such consents and licences, take administrative responsibility for foreshore authorisations
and generally oversee the enforcement of this Act in so far as it relates to such
consents and licences, to amend the
Planning and Development Act 2000
to provide for how that Act will treat applications for development permission which
must have a maritime area consent before being made and to provide for consequential
amendments to other enactments; and to provide for related matters.
