You have to stop the operations for at least 3 months. You can choose to stop them for longer than 3 months if you want to.

If you do stop the operations, the maximum time you can stop them for is 12 months. You can extend the time you stop the operations if you need to. The rules in clause 7 of Schedule 4 will guide you on how to do this.
