42S Applications for renewal of licences
(1) The holder of an environmental licence that is in force for a period specified on the licence, may apply to the Director, in a form approved by the Director, for a renewal of the environmental licence.
(2) An application under subsection (1) for the renewal of an environmental licence is invalid if it is not made before the number of days, before the day on which the licence expires, that is prescribed.
(3) The Director, in his or her discretion, may, despite subsection (2) , accept an application under subsection (1) for the renewal of an environmental licence, if the application is made before the day on which the licence expires and, if the Director so accepts the application, the application is, despite subsection (2) , valid.
(4) If an application under subsection (1) for the renewal of an environmental licence is valid, the licence remains in force, despite section 42ZC(5) , until the holder of the environmental licence is notified under section 42T(9) of the decision of the Director to renew, or to refuse to renew, the licence.
