Land Act 1994

The arbitrator has authority to decide the dispute by issuing an award.

The award must not be inconsistent with a term of the lease under which the sublease is granted.

The award must be issued—

within 6 months after the appointment of the arbitrator; or

if the arbitrator decides—within 9 months after the appointment of the arbitrator; or

if the parties to the dispute agree to extend the period mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b)—before the expiry of the extended period.

A regulation may prescribe matters the arbitrator must consider in deciding the dispute.

A regulation made under subsection (4) does not limit the matters the arbitrator may consider.
