12 Registrar may invite applicants in overlapping application group to revise and resubmit applications

(1) This section applies if the Minister determines that a group of 2 or more applications for feasibility licences forms an overlapping application group. (2) The Registrar must notify the applicants that the determination has been made, and invite the applicants to revise and resubmit their applications to remove the overlap. (3) The notice and invitation given to an applicant: (a) must be in writing; and (b) must set out, for each other applicant whose application overlaps the applicant’s application: (i) the area or areas of overlap; and (ii) the name of the other applicant; and (iii) the kind of project that the other applicant proposes to carry out; and (c) may include such other information as the Registrar considers reasonable about the applications mentioned in paragraph (b); and (d) may include such information as the Registrar considers reasonable about other applications that cover areas adjacent to, or nearby, the area covered by the applicant’s application; and (e) must specify the day on or before which an application, as revised, must be resubmitted; and (f) must inform the applicant that any revised application must be in accordance with section 13. (4) Subsections 10(2) to (4) apply to an application that is revised and resubmitted in accordance with this section, except that paragraph 10(2)(b) and subsection 10(3) apply as if a reference to the time specified in the invitation under paragraph 9(3)(b) were a reference to the end of the day specified by the Registrar under paragraph (3)(e) of this section. (5) An applicant who revises an application in response to the invitation is not required to pay any additional fee for revising or resubmitting the application. (6) If an applicant revises and resubmits an application in response to the invitation on or before the day specified under paragraph (3)(e), and the revised application is in accordance with section 13, then, after that day: (a) the revised application replaces the original application; and (b) the original application is to be disregarded.

Note: If the revised application is not in accordance with section 13, the original application remains in effect.
