sec.15 Amendment of registration of advanced offsets
An owner of land that has been registered under section 14 may, at any time, apply to the decision-maker in the approved form for a boundary of an area of land identified as an advanced offset to be amended. In deciding the application, the decision-maker must have regard to the environmental offsets policy. The decision-maker may, by written notice given to the owner— approve the application; or refuse the application. As soon as practicable after the decision to approve the application is made, the decision-maker must ensure that the record for the area of land identified as an advanced offset in the register kept under section 90 of the Act is amended. If the decision-maker decides to refuse the application, the decision-maker must, as soon as practicable after making the decision, give the applicant an information notice about the decision.
