Security Industry Act 1997

The Commissioner may, if satisfied that there may be grounds for revoking a licence, suspend the licence, by notice served on the licensee, for a period of not more than 60 days specified in the notice, commencing on service of the notice.

The notice is—

to state that the licence is suspended and the reasons for suspending it, and

to request that the licensee provide the Commissioner with reasons why the licence should not be revoked.

The Commissioner is not required to give a licensee an opportunity to be heard before suspending the licence under this section.

The Commissioner may, by further notice served on a licensee during the period in which the licence is suspended under this section, extend the period of suspension of the licence for a further period of not more than 60 days specified in the notice.

A suspended licence does not authorise the licensee to carry on any security activity during the period specified in the notice suspending it.
