Section 2 allows the Minister to grant leases on the foreshore in the public interest. "Foreshore" means the bed and shore, below the line of high water of ordinary or medium tides, of the sea and of every tidal river and tidal estuary and of every channel, creek and bay of the sea or of any such river or estuary. Every lease shall contain prescribed clauses or covenants as listed in section 2. The Minister may also grant licences in respect of the foreshore authorising the placing of any material or placing or erecting any articles, things, structures, or works in or on such foreshore, removing any beach material from such foreshore, the taking any minerals in such foreshore or using or occupying the foreshore for any purpose pursuant to section 3. Section 5 allows the Minister to acquire foreshore by agreement. The Minister may prohibit, by Order, the removal by any person of beach material under section 6 and regulate entry into areas of the foreshore, restrict development, prohibit deposit of material in accordance with sections 7 to 14. Section 15 concerns evidence of title to foreshore.
