Rural and Regional Adjustment Regulation 2011

This section applies if—

before the commencement, an entity (the applicant) made an application for a part 2 first payment (the part 2 first payment application); and

before the commencement, either—

the authority decided to approve the part 2 first payment application; or

the chief executive officer, in a review decision of an original decision in relation to the part 2 first payment application, decided to approve the application; and

the applicant purportedly made an application for a part 2 second payment (the part 2 second payment application) that was received by the authority no later than 6p.m. on 6 December 2021; and

a part 2 first payment had not been made to the applicant before the applicant purportedly made the part 2 second payment application.

Despite schedule 38, section 20(3), the part 2 second payment application is, and is taken to have always been, as valid as it would have been if a part 2 first payment had been made to the applicant before the applicant purportedly made the part 2 second payment application.

Terms defined in schedule 38 and used in this section have the same meanings as they have in schedule 38.
