Examples of what other provisions may provide for—

• extending the period for giving a referral agency’s response

• giving a late referral agency’s response

• changing a referral agency’s response before the application is decided

• reviving a development application after a contravention of the development assessment rules

(b) section 98; and

(c) another effect of not giving a referral agency’s response prescribed under a regulation for a matter.
