Residential Services (Accreditation) Act 2002

The chief executive must decide an application made under section 64 as soon as practicable and, in any case, by the due day.

The due day for deciding the application is the thirtieth day after the application is made, not including—

a day the chief executive asks for more information under section 64(3); or

the day the applicant complies with the request; or

any days between the days mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b).

However, the due day may be extended by agreement between the chief executive and the applicant.

If the chief executive does not decide the application by the due day, the chief executive is taken to have decided the application, on the day after the due day, by refusing to amend the registration to show the new premises as the registered premises.
