73  Time limit on decision about a permit

 (1) The ACA must decide whether to grant, or refuse to grant, a non‑protection zone installation permit within 180 days after the day on which the application for the permit was made.

 (2) The ACA may extend, or further extend, the 180 day period by giving written notice to the applicant only if:
 (a) the extension or further extension is for a period of not more than 90 days; and
 (b) the notice includes a statement explaining why the ACA has been unable to make a decision about the application within the 180 day period, or the 180 day period as previously extended.

 (3) If the ACA has requested further information about the application under clause 68, a day on which the request for information remains unfulfilled, or partly unfulfilled, is disregarded for the purposes of calculating the 180 day period or the 180 day period as extended.
