The notification of MACs should be more than just publishing on a website for the reasons that we discussed earlier. I put more weight on a maritime area consent than the Government has done with its view that it is not consent and not actual development, which is subject to a different process. There is more involved in the things that can be done, under the provisions of a MAC, than is suggested by the way it has been handled in the legislation. Therefore, there should be a greater degree of public notification around the granting of such MACs.
