Recreation Areas Management Act 2006

If the chief executive is satisfied the applicant has complied with section 207, the chief executive must, within 28 days after receiving the application—

review the reviewable decision; and

make a decision (the internal review decision) to—

confirm the reviewable decision; or

amend the reviewable decision; or

substitute another decision for the reviewable decision; and

give the applicant a notice complying with the QCAT Act, section 157(2) for the internal review decision.

The chief executive may, by notice to the applicant, extend the period for making the internal review decision if—

the reviewable decision relates to a GBR region permit; and

a decision about a permission under a GBR region Act forming part of the permit is being reviewed under that Act; and

the chief executive reasonably considers the outcome of the review of the decision about the permission is reasonably likely to affect the chief executive’s internal review decision.

Also, the chief executive and the applicant may, before the period stated in subsection (1) ends, agree to a longer period for the chief executive to comply with the subsection.

If the chief executive does not comply with subsection (1), the chief executive is taken to have made a decision confirming the reviewable decision.

For an application to QCAT for external review—

if the internal review decision confirms the reviewable decision, the reviewable decision is taken to be the internal review decision; or

if the internal review decision amends the reviewable decision, the reviewable decision, as amended, is taken to be the internal review decision.
