413 Relevant Director may vary or require variation of approved arrangement
The relevant Director may, by written notice given to the biosecurity industry participant covered by an approved arrangement:
vary the conditions of the arrangement (including by imposing new conditions); or
require the biosecurity industry participant to vary the arrangement as specified in the notice.
A decision to vary the conditions of an approved arrangement, or to require an approved arrangement to be varied, is a reviewable decision (see Part 1 of Chapter 11).
The relevant Director may give a notice to a biosecurity industry participant under subsection (1) in relation to an approved arrangement if the Director is satisfied that:
the arrangement no longer meets the requirements on the basis of which approval was given; or
the biosecurity industry participant is no longer a fit and proper person (having regard to the matters referred to in section 530); or
a condition of the arrangement has been contravened; or
the level of biosecurity risk associated with the operation of the arrangement has changed; or
a change needs to be made to the arrangement to correct a minor or technical error in the arrangement; or
the arrangement needs to be varied for any other reason.
Notice of proposed decision
The relevant Director must not give a notice to a biosecurity industry participant under subsection (1) on a ground referred to in paragraph (2)(a), (b), (c), (d) or (f) unless the Director has given a notice to the biosecurity industry participant under subsection 435A(1).
