89ZZN: Extension of time for compliance with compliance notices

You could also call this:

"Getting more time to follow the rules after a compliance notice"

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

If you get a compliance notice, you might need to do something by a certain time. The person in charge, called the chief executive or enforcement officer, can give you more time to do it. They can do this on their own or if you ask them. They can only give you more time if the time to do it has not run out yet. If you ask for more time at least two weeks before you have to do it, and they have not made a decision yet, you get two more weeks to do it. The time you have to do it is called the compliance period, which is stated in the compliance notice under section 89ZZL(1).

89ZZNExtension of time for compliance with compliance notices

This section applies if a person has been issued with a compliance notice.
The chief executive or enforcement officer may, on their own initiative or on the application of the person, by written notice given to the person, extend the compliance period for the compliance notice.
However, the chief executive or enforcement officer may extend the compliance period only if the period has not ended.
If a person applies for an extension of time for complying with a compliance notice not less than 2 weeks before the time for compliance expires but a decision has not been made on the application before the time for compliance expires, the period for compliance is deemed to be extended for a period of 2 weeks, to enable a decision on extension to be made within that period.
In this section, compliance period—
means the period stated in the compliance notice under section 89ZZL(1); and
includes any extension of that period under this section.
