Pesticides Regulation 2017

The holder of a licence that is lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed may apply to the Environment Protection Authority for a replacement licence.

The application—

must be in the approved form, and

must be accompanied by a statutory declaration by the applicant that explains how, or the circumstances in which, the licence was lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, and

must be accompanied by the applicable fee for the replacement of a licence.

Without limiting subclause (2) (a), the approved form may be an electronic form accessible on a publicly available website.

A person who provides the Environment Protection Authority with a statutory declaration containing the particulars required by the approved form is taken to have done so in the approved form.

The Environment Protection Authority may issue a replacement licence if satisfied that the applicant’s licence has been lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed.

A licence that is replaced under this clause must provide for the same expiry date as the licence it replaces.

If an application is refused, the Environment Protection Authority must give notice in writing of the refusal, and of the reasons for the refusal, to the applicant.

The holder of a licence that is replaced under this clause—

must surrender the original licence if it is recovered, or

in the case of a damaged licence that is replaced, must surrender the damaged licence.

Nothing in this clause prevents the Environment Protection Authority from issuing a replacement licence in such other circumstances as it considers appropriate.

The applicable fee for the replacement of a licence is as follows—

for an application made during period 1—$23,

for an application made during period 2 or period 3—$24,

for an application made during period 4 or period 5—$25,

for an application made during period 6—$26.
