Lapse of application or request if fee not paid within 10 business days
(2) Subject to subregulation (3A), if an application or request made by a person is not accompanied by the fee specified, the Authority must, as soon as practicable after receiving the application or request, give the person a written notice that:
(a) sets out the amount of the fee payable; and
(b) sets out the date of the notice; and
(c) states that the application or request will lapse if the fee is not paid to the Authority within 10 business days after the date of the notice.
(3) Subject to subregulation (3A), an application or request to which this regulation applies lapses if the fee specified for the application or request is not paid within 10 business days after the date of the written notice.
(3A) Subregulations (2) and (3) do not apply to an expression of interest application to the Authority for a special permission.
(3B) Subregulations (2) and (3) do not apply if the Authority waives the fee under subregulation (6).
Indexation of fees
(4) The fee in respect of an application or request made in a year after 2004 is an amount calculated in accordance with the formula:

where:
> F is the fee determined in accordance with subregulation (1).
> N is the All Groups Consumer Price Index number for Brisbane published by the Australian Statistician in respect of the financial year ending immediately before the calendar year in which the application or request is made.
(5) In calculating an amount in accordance with the formula, any part of the result that is less than $1 is to be ignored.
Waiver of fees for applications and requests involving minimal action
(6) The Authority may waive a fee that would otherwise be payable under this regulation, or refund a fee paid under this regulation, for an application or request that involves minimal activity by the Authority to act on.
(7) An application or request that has lapsed under subregulation (3) because the fee was not paid in time is reinstated if the Authority later waives the fee.
