107 .         Effect and duration of interim development order

        (1)         Subject to subsection (2), an interim development order —

            (a)         comes into operation on the day of publication of the relevant notice in the Gazette under section 105; and

            (b)         has effect as if it were enacted by this Act.

        (2)         An interim development order ceases to have effect in the regional order area or local order area to which it applies —

            (a)         when the relevant region planning scheme or local planning scheme, as the case requires, comes into operation in respect of that area; or

            (b)         when the interim development order is revoked under section 110; or

            (c)         on the expiry of 3 years from the day on which the interim development order first applied to that area,

                whichever is the sooner.

        (3)         Despite subsection (2) —

            (a)         the Commission may, by notice published in the Gazette before a regional interim development 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; and

            (b)         the Minister may, by notice published in the Gazette before a local interim development order ceases to have effect, extend its operation for a further period not exceeding 12 months and may, if the Minister thinks fit, exercise that power of extension more than once.
