Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Act 1989

After reconsidering the original decision, the reviewer:

must affirm, vary or set aside the original decision; and

if the original decision is set aside—may make such other decision as the reviewer thinks appropriate.

As soon as practicable after making a decision under subsection (1) (the reconsideration decision), the reviewer must give the applicant or licensee written notice of the reconsideration decision containing:

reasons for the reconsideration decision; and

details of the applicant’s or licensee’s right to apply for review of the reconsideration decision under section 65ZC.

Failure to give a notice under subsection (2) in relation to the reconsideration decision does not affect the validity of the reconsideration decision.

The reconsideration decision takes effect:

on the day specified in the notice of the reconsideration decision given under subsection (2); or

if a day is not specified—on the day the reconsideration decision is made, or taken to have been made (see subsection (5)).

The reviewer is taken to have made a reconsideration decision affirming the original decision if the reviewer does not make a reconsideration decision on the application before the end of whichever of the following periods is applicable:

the period of 60 days starting on the day after the application for reconsideration was made, unless paragraph (b) or (c) applies;

if the reviewer has requested further information by a notice given under subsection 65ZA(3) and such information is provided—the period of 60 days starting on the day after the information is provided;

if the reviewer has requested further information by a notice given under subsection 65ZA(3) and such information is not provided—the period of 90 days starting on the day after the notice was given under that subsection.
