The explanatory note for head 13 reads: "rapid identification of areas which are not suitable for Offshore Renewable Energy". Given that there must be some assessment by the Government when the maritime areas of consent, MACs, are being issued by the Minister, this assumes that those sites are unlikely to cross head 13. These would be other sites. Is this a fair interpretation?
