HERITAGE ACT 2004 - SECT 30A

    (1)     This section applies if, before the council makes a decision under section 32 in relation to a nominated place or object—

        (a)     the council knows, or believes on reasonable grounds, that information in the nomination application for the place or object is now incorrect, insufficient or outdated; or

        (b)     since the nomination application for the place or object was made or accepted, something has happened to the place or object that changes a detail about the place or object mentioned in the application.

    (2)     The council may reassess the merit of the nomination application.

    (3)     If the council reassesses the merit of the nomination application, it must—

        (a)     dismiss the application; or

        (b)     accept the application and consider whether to provisionally register the place or object the subject of the application under section 32.

Note     If a nomination application is dismissed under s (3) (a), the place or object the subject of the application is no longer a nominated place or object (see dict, def "nominated", par (b)).

    (4)     The council must dismiss the application if a circumstance mentioned in section 29 (3) applies.

    (5)     The council must, as far as practicable within 15 working days after making a decision under subsection (3)—

        (b)     if the council accepts the application—tell each interested person about the decision.
