I am sure it is not solely my experience that the board, for whatever reason, whether resourcing or otherwise, often cannot make a decision on submissions within the given timeframe. A notification is then sent to say the time has been extended. Will this legislation cover that issue? Will it specify that decisions must be made within particular timeframes and, if so, how will that be monitored and managed? Will there be fines imposed or how will it work?
