Review of decisions by Tribunal

10A. Review of decisions by Tribunal





(1) An application may be made to the Tribunal for review of an administrative
decision made by the Authority, or by a delegate of the Authority, under this
Act.



(2) An application under subsection (1) may be made only by a person whose
interests are directly affected by the decision.





(2A) Subsection (1) does not apply to any reviewable decision.

Note A reviewable decision has the meaning given by section 20-see section
3(1). Reviewable decisions are excluded from subsection (1) because they are
dealt with by Part IIA. Essentially, a wider range of people may apply for the
review of a reviewable decision and there is a process of internal review
available in respect of those decisions.

(3) Subsection (1) does not apply to decisions under Part III.

(4) An application for review must be made within 28 days after the later of-

   (a)  the day on which the decision is made;

   (b)  if, under the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 1998,
        the applicant requests a statement of reasons for the decision, the
        day on which the statement of reasons is given to the applicant or the
        applicant is informed under section 46(5) of that Act that a statement
        of reasons will not be given.
