Quick Take

The two-month time limit under s 86(4) of the Development Act 1993 (SA) for seeking review of a categorisation decision runs from the date the categorisation decision is made, not from the date of the final planning determination. Persons wishing to challenge a categorisation must act promptly upon receiving notice of the categorisation, even though the statutory notice scheme does not inform them of their review rights or the time limit. The remedy for late applications lies in the ERD Court's discretion to extend time under s 86(4).
