to give security
 (4) The Regulator may require the applicant to give the Commonwealth security in relation to the fulfilment of any requirements to relinquish biodiversity certificates that may be imposed under Part 13 of the Act in relation to the project (whether or not the circumstances that may result in a relinquishment notice being given exist at the time the variation applied for is made).

Timing
 (5) The Regulator must take all reasonable steps to ensure that a decision is made on the application:
 (a) if the Regulator is required to consult with a person under subsection (3), or requires the applicant to give further information under section 128 in relation to the application—within 90 days after the person was notified of the consultation or the applicant gave the Regulator the information (as applicable); or
 (b) otherwise—within 90 days after the application was made.

When variation takes effect
 (6) If the Regulator decides to vary the registration of the biodiversity project, the variation takes effect on the day after the notice of the decision is given to the applicant under section 17.
