536PJ Finalising draft order

(1) The FWC may make any changes it thinks appropriate to a draft road transport contractual chain order.

(2) If changes made under subsection (1) are significant, the FWC must:

(a) decide not to make the road transport contractual chain order based on the draft; and

(b) publish a subsequent notice of intent under paragraph 536PG(1)(a) in relation to the revised draft road transport contractual chain order, and publish the revised draft; and

(c) follow the process set out in section 536PH (as affected by subsection (3) or (4) of this section) in relation to the revised draft road transport contractual chain order.

(3) For the purposes of paragraph (2)(c), the period of consultation under section 536PH in relation to the revised draft road transport contractual chain order is to be the period of at least 12 months starting when the subsequent notice of intent and the revised draft required by paragraph (2)(b) of this section were published (the draft publication time).

(4) However, the FWC may reduce that 12‑month period to another period that the FWC considers is reasonable if:

(a) the order is a time‑sensitive road transport contractual chain order; or

(b) the FWC is satisfied that the circumstances urgently require it, and the period is at least 6 months starting from the draft publication time.
