Consents & clearances·annualConsent to Operate renewal window
Consent to Operate must be renewed before it expires, and most boards expect the renewal application at least 120 days before the expiry date; some states and some categories require it earlier, and late applications are treated as fresh applications or draw a penalty. The date shown here is a reminder, not a statutory date: on 1 March each year we review every consent that expires in the coming financial year so renewals, fee payments and compliance reports are lined up well before the 120-day mark.
