66 Application procedure

(1)  An application to the Commission in respect of any matter under this Act is to –

(a) be in a form provided or approved by the Commission; and

(b) be accompanied by the prescribed fee, if any; and

(c) be supported by such evidence or information as the Commission requires, either at the time of lodgement or subsequently; and

(d) comply with such additional requirements, as relate, under the relevant section of this Act, to the specific application.

(2)  The Commission is not obliged to consider or determine an application in respect of any matter under this Act if it –

(a) fails to comply with subsection (1) in a material way; or

(b) seeks the same or substantially the same outcome as a rejected application made by the same applicant within the preceding 90 days and, on its face, discloses nothing new.

(3)  The Commission may waive an application fee, wholly or in part, if the Commission considers that it would be unreasonable, unfair or cause hardship to impose the fee or full fee in the circumstances.
