  • increase certain exemption periods to 24 months, but only if the chief executive is satisfied that the person to whom a payment is to be or has been made intends to use or has used the payment to repair or rebuild any existing residential premises, or to purchase any replacement residential premises; and

  • clarify that if certain payments are paid in instalments, or 1 or more payments are made, the date that the payments are made is the date on which the final instalment is paid or the last payment is made.
