sec.158 Steps for renewal of permit
If the chief executive decides to renew an existing permit under section 157 , the chief executive must, as soon as practicable, grant the holder a new commercial activity permit. The commercial activity permit must be granted— for carrying out activities that are substantially the same as the activities authorised under the existing permit; and on the same conditions as the existing permit, unless subsection (3) applies; and for a term that starts on the day immediately after the end of the term of the existing permit, whether or not the existing permit has continued in effect under section 155 (2) . The commercial activity permit may be granted with conditions that are different from the conditions of the existing permit if— the change of conditions can be characterised as a type of minor amendment mentioned in section 128 ; or the holder agrees to the change of conditions; or the chief executive reasonably believes that a ground for amendment mentioned in section 135 or 138 exists in relation to the permit.
