Question 104: To ask the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if there is a maximum timeframe limit for approving foreshore licence applications; and if there are plans to introduce a formal appeals mechanism for foreshore licences that have been refused or for licence applications that have been delayed.

The timeframe for considering foreshore lease and licence applications depends on a number of factors, including the precise nature of the activity proposed, the observations from expert consultees and issues arising from the public consultation process.

The Foreshore Acts do not provide for appeals against decisions on foreshore lease and licence applications, and there are currently no proposals to introduce a formal appeals mechanism in respect of such applications.
