              equal to the current term of the approval.

    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

           any approvals for the prescribed activity in a specified part of the local government area.

     (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.
(9) The local government may amend the conditions of the approval under subsection
    (6)(b) without following the procedure in section 18.
(10) If an approval holder applies to renew or extend the approval, the approval
     remains in force until—
     (a)      if the application is granted, with or without amendment of the conditions—
              the date the application is granted; or
     (b)      if the application is refused and the applicant applies for a review of the
              decision under part 4—the date the applicant is given notice of the review
              decision; or
     (c)      if the application is refused and the applicant has not applied for a review of
              the decision under part 4—14 days after the applicant is given an
              information notice under subsection (8).
