Section 16 Duration of BID arrangements etc.
Northern Ireland
BID arrangements are to have effect for such period (not exceeding 5 years) as may be specified in the arrangements.
BID arrangements may be renewed for one or more periods each of which must not exceed 5 years, but only if the renewal of the arrangements on that or each occasion is approved by a ballot.
The renewal of BID arrangements is not to be regarded as approved by a ballot held for the purposes of subsection (2) unless the conditions which applied to the approval of the BID proposals (by virtue of section 7 and, where relevant, section 8) are satisfied in relation to the renewal of the arrangements.
The Department may by regulations make provision—
as to the alteration of BID arrangements, and
as to the termination of BID arrangements.
The provision which may be made by virtue of subsection (4)(a) or (b) includes provision preventing or restricting the alteration or early termination of BID arrangements.
Nothing in subsection (5) is to be taken as limiting the power conferred by subsection (4).
