Extension of due day for applying for renewal
51 Extension of due day for applying for renewal
The service provider for an accredited service may ask the chief executive to extend the period of accreditation to enable the service provider to apply under section 50 for renewal of the accreditation.
The request may be made, and the chief executive may grant the extension, only on or before the day the accreditation is due to expire.
The chief executive may give the service provider a notice extending, or further extending, the period of accreditation if the chief executive considers it would be reasonable in all the circumstances.
Example—
The service provider for an accredited service has prepared the material for an application for renewal of the accreditation, other than a building compliance notice. The service provider has applied for a notice under section 29 but the local government has decided the registered premises do not comply with the prescribed building requirements. The chief executive may extend the period of accreditation for the period necessary for an appeal under section 30 to be made and decided.
The accreditation of a residential service continues to have effect during the period of any extension granted under this section.
