Controlled Sports Act 2019

A registered controlled sports official may apply to the registrar to amend their registration, including to add a capacity or controlled sport for which the official has not been previously registered.

The registrar may, in writing, require the official to give the registrar additional information or documents that the registrar reasonably needs to decide the application.

If the official does not comply with a requirement under subsection (2), the registrar may refuse to consider the application.

In deciding whether to amend the registration, the registrar may consider anything they must consider under section 18 (1) in relation to an application for registration.

The registrar must—

amend the registration in the way applied for; or

refuse to amend the registration.

The registrar must, in writing—

tell the official the registrar’s decision under subsection (5); and

for a decision under subsection (5) (b)—

set out the reasons for the decision; and

state that the official may, within 20 working days after the day the registrar tells the official the decision, give additional information or documents to support the application.

If the official gives the registrar additional information or documents, the registrar must, within 20 working days after receiving the information or documents—

reconsider the decision; and

either—

amend the registration in the way applied for; or

refuse to amend the registration; and

tell the official, in writing, the registrar’s decision; and

if the registrar refuses to amend the registration—set out the reasons for the decision.

The registrar is not required under this Act or any other territory law to give reasons for their decision to the extent that giving those reasons would disclose security sensitive information.
