24Expiry of authorisation

24 Expiry of authorisation (1) An authorisation under section 23 ceases to have effect— (a) 3 months after it is given, unless the amendment it authorises is, before that time, lodged with the registrar-general for registration under the Land Titles Act 1925; or (b) if the amendment is so lodged within 3 months after the authorisation is given, but is later withdrawn under section 26 of that Act—when the endorsement under that section is made by the registrar-general. (2) If an authorisation of an amendment ceases to have effect, the developer may again apply to the territory planning authority under section 22 (Application for authorisation to amend scheme) for authorisation to make the amendment, after which that section, section 23 (Authorisation of amendment) and this section apply as if the previous authorisation had not been given.
