Authority may deal with application after expiry of determination period
51 Authority may deal with application after expiry of determination period
S. 51 inserted by No. 39/2018 s. 7 (as amended by Nos 27/2019 ss 12−30, 3/2020 ss 42–44, 47/2020 s. 26).
This section applies if, after receiving the application for a licence or permit that complies with section 50, the Authority or a council does not issue or refuses to issue the licence or permit within the period during which the Authority or council must determine the application.
Nothing in this Chapter prevents the Authority or council from continuing to deal with the application.
Note
The applicant may apply to VCAT for review of a failure to issue or refuse to issue the licence or permit within the period during which the Authority or council must determine the application—see section 4(2) of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 1998.
