Hi Diane,
In answer to your questions, my understanding is that you can close the exhibition period at any time in order to recommence the exhibition period of the revenue policy, so in effect you needn’t wait until 16th & then start again.
I’m not sure that exhibiting more than 1 option in this situation is allowed as people may need to make 3 submissions in order to cover all bases. I am guessing that the proposals will be fairly different. You can exhibit 2 options if you are applying for an SV i.e. the structure if the SV is approved & the structure if it isn’t approved.
You can just exhibit the Revenue Policy if you desire as long as it doesn’t affect the Operational Plan & LTFM etc. Obviously if there is a flow on effect to other documents then they also need to be readvertised.
Yes you can adopt everything but the Revenue Policy & adopt the Revenue Policy at a later date. Some Councils do this when they have made an SV application & are awaiting the response from IPART etc.
I’m sure you know that Council doesn’t have to act on submissions & can still adopt the advertised structure as long as they “show they have considered the submissions”. Although given some of the history in the area I do understand why the Council might be a bit gun shy.
