The applicant may appeal against the review decision to the Planning and Environment Court. An appeal under this section may be made only on 1 or more of the following grounds— the amount of the charge is so unreasonable that no reasonable distributor-retailer could have imposed the amount; the decision involved an error relating to the application of the relevant charge; if the decision is the giving of an infrastructure charges notice— the decision involved an error relating to— the working out, for section 99BRCJ , of additional demand; or an offset or refund; or there was no decision about an offset or refund; or if the infrastructure charges notice states a refund will be given—the timing for giving the refund. To remove any doubt, it is declared that the appeal must not be about— the relevant charge itself; or for a decision about an offset or refund for an infrastructure charges notice— the establishment cost of infrastructure identified in the distributor-retailer’s water netserv plan; or the cost of infrastructure decided using the method included in the distributor-retailer’s infrastructure charges schedule.
