Planning Act 2023

This section applies if—

the rent payable under a lease is varied in accordance with the provisions of the lease; and

the lease does not provide for the submission to arbitration of differences between the parties to the lease about variation of the rent.

The lessee may, not later than 20 working days after receiving the notice under section 314 (1) about the variation, ask the territory planning authority in writing to review the variation.

The making of the request does not affect the operation of the variation to which the request relates or prevent the taking of action to implement the variation.

If the request is made in relation to a variation, the territory planning authority must review the variation and may—

confirm the variation; or

set the variation aside and substitute any other variation the authority considers appropriate.
