                        Noosa Shire Council Local Law No. 1 (Administration) 2015                       10


          Unless sooner cancelled or suspended, an approval remains in force for—
          (a)       the term provided for the prescribed activity under a subordinate local law
                    for this paragraph; or
          (b)       if there is no term provided for under a subordinate local law—one year
                    from the date the approval is granted.


14   Renewal of approval
     (1) An approval holder may, before the end of the term of the approval, apply to the
         local government to renew or extend the approval for—
          (a)      a further term provided for the prescribed activity under a subordinate local
                   law for this paragraph; or
          (b)      if there is no term provided for under a subordinate local law—a further term
                   equal to the current term of the approval.
     (2) However, an approval holder may not apply to renew or extend the approval where
         the local government has given the approval holder reasonable written notice that
         the approval is one of a class of approvals that the local government does not
         intend to renew or extend.
          Example—
                The local government might give notice to the approval holder that, in order to prevent
                environmental harm to an endangered ecosystem, it does not intend to grant, renew or extend
                any approvals for the prescribed activity in a specified part of the local government area.
     (3) The application under subsection (1) must be—
          (a)      made in a form approved by the local government; and
          (b)      accompanied by the prescribed fee.
     (4) The local government may, by written notice, request the applicant to provide
         further reasonable information or clarification of information, documents or
         materials included in the application.
     (5) Section 8(4) to (7) applies to the notice as if it was a notice under section 8(3).
     (6) The local government may, by written notice to the applicant—
          (a)      grant the application; or
          (b)      grant the application and amend the conditions of the approval; or
          (c)      refuse the application.
     (7) In deciding under subsection (6), the local government may have regard to—
          (a)      the matters mentioned in section 9(1); and
          (b)      whether the conditions of the approval are being complied with by the
                   applicant.
     (8) The local government must give the applicant an information notice if the local
         government—
          (a)      refuses the application; or
          (b)      grants the application and amends the approval to include non-standard
                   conditions.
