(1) Subject to
subsection (2), a regional order —
(a)
comes into operation on the day of publication of the relevant notice in the
Gazette under section 21(4); and
(b) has
effect as though its provisions were enacted in this Act.
(2) A regional order
ceases to have effect in its regional order area —
(a) when
the relevant regional planning scheme comes into operation in respect of that
regional order area;
(b) when
the regional order is revoked under section 23; or
(c) on
the expiry of 3 years from the day on which the regional order first applied
to that regional order area,
whichever is the
sooner, but the Commission may, by notice published in the Gazette before the
regional order ceases to have effect, extend its operation for a further
period not exceeding 12 months and may, if the Commission thinks fit, exercise
that power of extension more than once.
