if—
(a) before the commencement of this section, a local authority, under

owner to comply with section 49H (4) of that Act; and
(b) immediately before
the commencement of this section, the extension was still in force.
(2) The

the owner to comply with section 235.
(3) The local government concerned may
at any time, and subject to the reasonable conditions it considers
appropriate, extend the time for the owner to comply with section 235 if—
(a) the owner files a written application for an extension with the local
government while a previously given extension is still in force; and
(b) the
local government is satisfied that compliance within the time provided for in
the previously given extension would cause the owner financial hardship.
