If I understand it correctly the intention of amendment No. 264 is to ensure that once the MARA licensing regime is operational, licence applications under the Foreshore Act cease. If that is the case the text as initiated already provides for this.

It is the intention that relevant parts of the Maritime Area Planning Bill, MAP, Bill will be commenced in tandem to ensure a smooth transition from one regime to the other. On foot of my explanation, the Deputy may consider withdrawing his amendment.
