an area of a marine management area,
the farm lease may be renewed only as a lease which does not apply to those areas, unless either —
a management plan applies to the area under the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984 and the renewal is consistent with a management plan; or
the Minister has consulted the Minister to whom the administration of the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984 is for the time being committed by the Governor on the renewal and has taken into account any recommendation of that Minister.
