Rule 35 Entry or passage

The entry or passage across the bed of any river or lake that is not covered by any use of the river or lake bed specified in Rules 22 to 48 and does not breach any condition or standard is a permitted activity.

[Note: Entry or passage across the bed of any river or lake is permitted by Rule 35 but the rule does not permit other uses of river or lake beds that are identified in Section 13 of the Act. Other uses of river and lake beds such as disturbance, deposition, and reclamation require resource consents unless they are permitted by a rule in the Plan.]
