I move amendment No. 17:

In page 5, to delete lines 1 to 6 and substitute the following: “(b) The measures in paragraph (a) may not take effect before the completion of an online portal referenced in section 14E(1)(l).

(c) The Minister may, having regard to the public interest and fairness of procedures, prescribe a period which is longer than the period specified in paragraph (a), in order to ensure wide access to the appeal mechanism of the Forestry Appeals Committee, and in light of the cumulative effect of decisions of the Minister on the burden of the public in engaging with the review mechanism.”,”.
