(2) The development approval continues in force until the time when the approval would have ended under the repealed Act (including any period extended under the repealed Act, section 188 (2)). (3) The repealed Act, including the following provisions, continues to apply in relation to the development approval despite its repeal: (a) if the development approval is subject to an offset condition— the repealed Act, division 7.3.6A;
Transitional—development applications and approvals Part 20.4 (b) if the development approval relates to a development application for a chargeable variation of a nominal rent lease—the repealed Act, division 9.6.3. Note Despite s (3), an application to amend the development approval under the repealed Act may only be made within 6 months after the commencement day. After the 6-month period, an application to amend the development approval may only be made under this Act, s 205 as if the development approval were given under this Act.
