  (2) Despite subsection (1), a control specified in a regional public transport plan takes effect on the latest of the following dates, except to the extent that an operator agrees otherwise in writing in respect of a particular service and this agreement is specified in the plan:

  • (a) the date on which the plan (or variation including or amending the control) takes effect:

  • (b) any date specified in the plan as the date on which the control takes effect:

  • (c) to the extent that a control of a kind referred to in section 12(3)(b) to (n) applies to an existing commercial service, the day that is 12 months after the day on which subsection 11(1)(b) is complied with in respect of that service:

  • (d) if the control is appealed under section 40A, 20 working days after the day on which the appeal is finally decided or such later date as the court may order.

  (3) A control that has come into effect continues in effect until it is amended or revoked by a variation to or revocation of the plan in which it is specified.
