sec.166Applying for an internal review

### sec.166 Applying for an internal review An application for internal review must— be in the approved form; and be made to the chief executive within 20 business days after— for a reviewable decision for which an information notice is given—the day the person is given the information notice; or for another decision—the day the person the subject of the decision is notified of the decision; and include enough information to enable the chief executive to decide the application. The chief executive may extend the time for making an internal review application, including, for example, because— the reviewable decision relates to a permission that forms part of a joint permission; and a decision about the Commonwealth permission forming the other part of the joint permission is being reviewed under the Commonwealth Act; and the outcome of the review of the decision about the Commonwealth permission is reasonably likely to affect the chief executive’s internal review decision. The application must be dealt with only by a person who— did not make the reviewable decision; and who holds a more senior office than the person who made the reviewable decision. Subsection (3) — applies despite the Acts Interpretation Act 1954 , section 27A ; and does not apply to a reviewable decision made by the chief executive.
