Time for dealing with applications for approval or modification of approval (ss 60ZH and 60ZI)
135 Time for dealing with applications for approval or modification of approval (ss 60ZH and 60ZI)
The Native Vegetation Panel is to determine an application for approval to clear native vegetation (or to modify an approval of the Panel) within 90 days after the date on which the application was duly made.
Any period after the applicant is requested by the Panel to provide further information to enable the application to be dealt with and until the information is provided (or the applicant notifies the Panel the information will not be provided) is not to be counted in calculating that 90-day period.
An application for approval (or the modification of an approval) that has not been determined is taken to have been refused after the expiration of that 90-day period.
The Panel may grant or refuse to grant an application even if the application is taken to have been refused under this clause.
