Road Transport Act 2013

If Transport for NSW decides to suspend an operator approval, Transport for NSW must—

give the approved operator written notice (a suspension notice) stating the following—

the date on which the suspension takes effect,

the period for which the suspension is in effect,

the reasons for the suspension,

the measures the operator must take to address the grounds for suspension,

any other information prescribed by the statutory rules, and

notify relevant authorities of the suspension, and

publish notice of the suspension on the operators register.

For subsection (1)(a)(i), Transport for NSW may specify a suspension takes effect on the date a suspension notice is given to the operator if satisfied there is, or will be, an imminent or serious risk to public safety if the operator approval is not suspended immediately.

An operator approval is not in effect during the period of a suspension.

The approved operator to whom a suspension notice is issued may, within the period specified in the notice, make written submissions to Transport for NSW—

including evidence the grounds for suspension have been addressed, and

requesting the revocation of the suspension.

Transport for NSW must revoke the suspension if, after considering submissions made under subsection (4), Transport for NSW is satisfied the operator has addressed the grounds for suspension.
