SYDNEY AIRPORT DEMAND MANAGEMENT ACT 1997 No. 173, 1997 - SECT 39

(2) If the ^* Slot Manager refuses or fails to comply with the request to the satisfaction of the Minister within 14 days of the request being made, or within such longer period as the Minister determines, the Minister may amend the draft scheme to address the issue identified in the request. Before doing so, the Minister must first consider any reasons given by the Slot Manager for its refusal or failure.

(3) The Minister's power under this section to request an amendment of the draft scheme, or to amend the draft scheme, may be exercised even if the scheme is already consistent with section 35.

Note: For example, the Minister may request or make an amendment of the draft scheme because he or she considers that a matter could be dealt with in a more appropriate way and still be consistent with section 35.
