To cope with this unusual situation, the Building (Amendment) Ordinance 1972 was introduced, which was later supplemented by the Buildings Ordinance (Extension of Operation of Section 30A) (Amendment) Regulations 1972, to relieve the Building Authority of the obligation to deal with applications for approval of plans, consent to commence building works and for occupation permits within the respective statutory periods under the Buildings Ordinance. On 1st December, the period of 14 days was reintroduced for the processing of applications for occupation permits.
