Local Government Act 1993

The council (or the Minister in the case of a determination by the Minister under section 72) must give notice of the determination of an application to the applicant as soon as practicable after the determination.

The date of the determination and the date from which the approval operates (if approval is granted) must be endorsed on the notice.

In the case of an approval granted subject to a condition that the approval is not to operate until the applicant satisfies the council as to any matter specified in the condition (a “deferred commencement” approval)—

the date from which the approval operates must not be endorsed on the notice, and

if the applicant satisfies the council as to the matter, the council must, as soon as practicable after being satisfied, give notice to the applicant of the date from which the approval operates.

If the determination is made by the granting of approval subject to conditions or by refusing approval, the notice must notify the applicant—

of the council’s (or the Minister’s) reasons for the imposition of each condition or for refusing approval, and

of the provisions of this Act conferring a right of review of the determination (if relevant) and, in the case of a determination by the council, a right of appeal against the determination.
