231N Failure to make decision
If the period (including any relevant extensions of the period) for the Authority to take action under any of the following sections lapses without the Authority taking that action, the Authority is taken to have refused to make a decision—
(a) section 231B;
(b) section 231H;
(c) section 231J;

The person who provided the financial assurance may apply to VCAT for review of a failure to release the financial assurance within the period during which the Authority must determine the application—see section 4(2) of the **Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 1998**.
