(1) For the purposes of section 10.3(2A) of the Act, the Commissioner of the NSW Rural Fire Service may review the designation of land on a bush fire prone land map, and revise the map accordingly, if the land is in an urban release area (within the meaning of clause 273) and the Commissioner is of the opinion that the map needs to be revised--

(a) so that land on which the risk of bush fire is low is no longer recorded on the map as bush fire prone land, or

(b) so that land on which the bush fire risk is not low is recorded on the map as bush fire prone land, or

(c) to correct, or to record changes to, other information relating to land that is shown on the map.

(2) For the purposes of forming an opinion under this clause, the Commissioner of the NSW Rural Fire Service may have regard to a post-subdivision bush fire attack level certificate applying in relation to the land or any other evidence that the Commissioner considers to be relevant.
