(1) Despite anything to the contrary in this Chapter and without limiting section 318, the AEMC may, by notice, extend a period of time specified in Chapter 9 Part 3 if the AEMC considers that a request for a Rule raises issues of sufficient complexity or difficulty or there is a material change in circumstances such that it is necessary that the relevant period of time specified in Chapter 9 Part 3 be extended.

(2) A notice under subsection (1) must--

(a) be published; and

(b) set out the period of time specified in Chapter 9 Part 3 to be extended; and

(c) specify a new period of time to apply in the place of the period of time specified in Chapter 9 Part 3.

(3) A notice under subsection (1) may be published at the same time as a notice under section 303.

(4) The AEMC may only extend a period of time under this section before the expiry of that time.
