203AC  Dealing with applications

 (1A) The Commonwealth Minister must determine applications under section 203AB:
 (a) as soon as practicable after:
 (i) the period specified under subsection 203A(3); or
 (ii) if a further period applies under subsection 203AB(2) in relation to one or more of those applications—the last such further period to end; or
 (iii) if the Commonwealth Minister has, in relation to one or more of those applications, given to a body a notice under subsection (1) requiring the body to give further information within a specified period—the last such period to end;
  whichever occurs last; and
 (b) if the applications are in respect of an invitation to which subsection 203AA(3) applied—in any event before the end of the transition period.

 (1) The Commonwealth Minister may give to a body that has made an application under section 203AB a notice requiring the body to give further information relating to the application within a period specified in the notice.

 (2) The period specified:
 (a) must not begin before the day on which the notice was given; and
 (b) must be a period of at least 21 days.

 (3) The fact that no further information has been given to the Commonwealth Minister as at the end of the period specified in the notice does not prevent the Commonwealth Minister from determining the application.

 (4) The notice must contain a statement setting out the effect of subsection (3).
