171W Substantial commencement of development approved under s. 171P(1)
This section applies if the Commission grants approval for development under section 171P(1).
The development must be substantially commenced —
within the period specified in the approval for the purposes of this subsection; or
if no period is specified in the approval — within the period of 4 years beginning on the day on which the approval is granted.
The approval lapses if the development is not substantially commenced within the period referred to in subsection (2).
Note for this subsection:
The period referred to in subsection (2) can be extended by an amendment to the approval made under section 171X(2)(a) or an order made under section 171ZA(2)(a).
An application under section 171X(2)(a) can be made or determined in relation to the approval even if the approval has lapsed under subsection (3) and, if the application is granted after the approval has lapsed, the approval comes back into effect accordingly when the application is granted.
An order under section 171ZA(2)(a) can be made in relation to the approval even if the approval has lapsed under subsection (3), in which event the approval comes back into effect accordingly when the amendment is made.
