A conservation authority issues a permit under s. 28.1 of the Conservation Authorities Act for a new house on a rural lot near a creek valley, valid for 24 months. The buyer asks whether it can be extended. Under O. Reg. 41/24, what applies?

Correct Answer

D) It can be extended on application at least 60 days before expiry, up to 60 months in total

Section 11 of O. Reg. 41/24 sets the maximum period of validity of a permit, including any extension, at 60 months. A holder whose permit was issued for less than that may apply to the authority for an extension at least 60 days before it expires, but the total validity cannot exceed 60 months.

Answer Options
A
It can be extended repeatedly for 24 months at a time without any overall limit
B
It cannot be extended; a new application must be made when the 24 months end
C
It can be extended once, by up to 12 months, on request before it expires
D
It can be extended on application at least 60 days before expiry, up to 60 months in total

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Section 11(1)-(3) allows an extension on application at least 60 days before expiry, with total validity capped at 60 months.
