Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995

The Minister may make an amendment, other than an administrative amendment, of the coastal plan only if the process under division 2 for making the coastal plan has been followed subject to subsections (2) and (3).

For subsection (1), division 2 applies—

as if a reference in the division to the coastal plan were a reference to an amendment of the coastal plan; and

as if a reference in the division to a draft coastal plan were a reference to a draft amendment of the coastal plan; and

as if the reference in section 25(3) to 40 business days were a reference to 20 business days; and

with other necessary changes.

When acting under division 2, the Minister also may decide not to proceed with the amendment of the coastal plan.
