31 Permit not to be renewed if key objects not achieved
(1) Despite section 30, the Minister must not renew a permit if the key objects of the work program that were to have been conducted under the permit have not been achieved to the maximum extent that is practicable.
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply if the Minister is satisfied that the failure was the result of one or more events that were beyond the control of the holder of the permit.
