Food Act 2006

If a licensee applies for renewal of a licence under section 72, the licence is taken to continue in force from the day it would, apart from this section, have ended until the application is decided under section 72 or taken to have been withdrawn under section 75(2).

If a person applies for restoration of a licence under section 73, the licence is taken to continue in force from the day it ended until the application is decided under section 73 or taken to have been withdrawn under section 75(2).

Despite subsections (1) and (2), if a local government decides to refuse to renew or restore the licence under section 72(3) or 73(3), the licence continues in force until the information notice for the decision is given to the applicant.

Subsections (1) and (2) do not apply if the licence is earlier suspended or cancelled.
