Weapons Prohibition Regulation 2017

A theatrical weapons armourer permit that authorises a theatrical weapons armourer to carry on business at specified premises must not be issued unless the Commissioner is satisfied that—

the applicant is carrying on or proposes to carry on the business of a theatrical weapons armourer at those premises, and

those premises are suitable for carrying on the business of a theatrical weapons armourer, and

if the applicant currently holds a theatrical weapons armourer permit, the applicant can demonstrate that he or she—

has been employed as a theatrical weapons armourer or has actively participated in the business of theatrical weapons armoury for a significant proportion of the term of that permit, or

has not been able to be so employed or to participate because of illness, redundancy or other reason satisfactory to the Commissioner.

In considering whether or not the premises are suitable for such purposes, the Commissioner is to have regard to the following—

the nature of the activities proposed to be conducted on the premises,

the kinds of prohibited weapons to which the permit relates,

whether adequate provision has been made for the safe keeping of the prohibited weapons by means of a safe, strongroom or otherwise,

the security of the premises against unauthorised entry,

in the case of a permit that authorises the testing of prohibited weapons on the premises—whether adequate provision has been made to ensure the safe conduct of such testing.
