63 Consultation—activities subject to consultation

(1) The activities subject to consultation for consultation that relates to a proposed initial plan approval application are the licence activities that the proposed plan would authorise if: (a) the application were made; and (b) the Regulator granted the application and approved the proposed plan. (2) To avoid doubt, a licence activity that is mentioned in the proposed plan, but that the proposed plan would not authorise, is not an activity subject to consultation under subsection (1).

Note: For example, an activity that is mentioned in the timetable of licence activities mentioned in paragraph 80(2)(a), but that the plan will not authorise without a further revision, is not an activity subject to consultation.

(3) If: (a) consultation is required to be carried out as a result of a direction under subsection 53(1); and (b) the direction includes a statement, under subparagraph 53(3)(b)(i), that the consultation must relate to specified licence activities; then, despite subsections (1) and (2) of this section, the activities subject to consultation for the consultation are the licence activities specified in the direction.
