Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) If an objection
has been lodged against a notice or a decision, or an application has been
made under this Division for a review of the decision, the effect of the
notice or decision is suspended until the person or tribunal authorised to
deal with the objection or application has decided how to dispose of it,
unless —
(a) the
person or tribunal orders that the suspension be revoked; or
(b) the
local government considers that —
(i)
there are urgent reasons why the effect of the notice or
decision should not be suspended; or
(ii)
suspension of the effect of the notice or decision is
reasonably likely to endanger the safety of any person, cause damage to
property or to create a serious public nuisance.
(2) A person or
tribunal cannot order, under subsection (1)(a), that the suspension of a
decision be revoked unless it considers that —
(a)
there are urgent reasons why the effect of the notice or decision should not
be suspended; or
(b)
suspension of the effect of the notice or decision is reasonably likely to
endanger the safety of any person, cause damage to property or to create a
serious public nuisance.
(3) As soon as a local
government makes a decision under subsection (1)(b), it is to give the
affected person notice in writing stating its reasons.
