Ms Laura Brien:

Yes, we are in the process of developing that. We are looking at and trying to forecast the level of work that will be coming in to us. We are already quite busy in terms of receiving MAP applications and licences, so we started engagement with 24 different entities regarding to marine area consents and we have about 30 plus engagements with people regarding licence activities. On the licensing piece, we have taken over from the foreshore division of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. The marine area consents is an entirely new activity that we have taken on, on foot of the establishment and what was put into the Maritime Area Planning, MAP, Act 2021. In terms of the team that are there, yes, we are in the throes of 2024 planning at the moment. In terms of our priorities, we are working with Government policy with regard to supporting the offshore renewable energy, ORE, development piece, and around that we are maximising our capacity in other areas.
