The Jabiru Town Plan was scheduled to sunset on 1 April 2019. This certificate pushes that expiry date back to 1 April 2020, keeping the existing town planning rules in place for another year.\n\n**Who it affects:** Residents of Jabiru (a town in the Northern Territory) and anyone developing land there. It ensures planning controls don't disappear while the government works on a replacement scheme.\n\n**Self-destruct clause:** The certificate itself vanishes on 2 April 2020—the day after the town plan finally sunsets."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/legislation-deferral-of-sunsetting-jabiru-town-plan-certificate-2018","history":"/api/acts/legislation-deferral-of-sunsetting-jabiru-town-plan-certificate-2018/history","analysis":"/api/acts/legislation-deferral-of-sunsetting-jabiru-town-plan-certificate-2018/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/legislation-deferral-of-sunsetting-jabiru-town-plan-certificate-2018/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/legislation-deferral-of-sunsetting-jabiru-town-plan-certificate-2018/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/legislation-deferral-of-sunsetting-jabiru-town-plan-certificate-2018/documents"}}
