Section 152BCK — Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)

(1) This section applies if the Commission commences to hold a public inquiry under Part 25 of the Telecommunications Act 1997 about a proposal to make an access determination, and the declared service to which the access determination relates is not covered by subsection 152AL(8D).

(2) The Commission must make a final access determination within 6 months after that commencement.

Extension of decision‑making period

(3) The Commission may, by written notice published on its website, extend or further extend the 6‑month period referred to in subsection (2), so long as:

(a) the extension or further extension is for a period of not more than 6 months; and

(b) the notice includes a statement explaining why the Commission has been unable to make a final access determination within that 6‑month period or that 6‑month period as previously extended, as the case may be.

Note: The Commission may be required to make an interim access determination—see section 152BCG.
