any other matter prescribed by regulation.

(a) extending the term of the non-pastoral use permit for the specified period; or
(b) extending the term of the non-pastoral use permit for a shorter period as decided by the Board; or
refusing the application.
(5) If the Board extends the term of the non-pastoral use permit, the Board must lodge with the Registrar-General the required number of copies of the written notice of extension for registration.
(6) On registration by the Registrar-General of the written notice of extension, the term of the non-pastoral use permit is extended for the period specified in the notice.
(7) If the Board has not decided the application before the non-pastoral use permit ceases to have effect, the Board is taken to have refused the application.
