Security Industry Act 1997

The Commissioner may, after considering an application for a visitor permit—

grant the permit, or

refuse to grant the permit.

The Commissioner may refuse to grant a visitor permit if—

the applicant fails to supply evidence to the Commissioner’s satisfaction that the applicant satisfies the visitor permit eligibility requirements or any additional information or particulars required under section 39D (4), or

the Commissioner is satisfied that the applicant is not a fit and proper person to hold a visitor permit, or

where the event to which the application relates is a proposed special event—the Commissioner refuses to declare the event to be a special event, or

the Commissioner considers that the special event or proposed special event to which the application relates does not warrant or require provision of security activities of the kind specified in the application.

A visitor permit is to be in a form approved by the Commissioner.

A visitor permit authorises the holder of the permit to carry on each kind of security activity specified in the permit during the period of each special event specified in the permit.

A visitor permit is subject—

to such conditions as may be imposed by the Commissioner (whether at the time the permit is granted or at any later time), and

to such other conditions as are imposed by this Act or prescribed by the regulations.
