Agricultural Chemicals Distribution Control Act 1966

A licensee may apply to the chief executive to renew a licence within 60 days before the licence expires.

If the chief executive does not receive an application to renew a licence by the day the licence is to expire, the licence expires.

The application must be—

made in the approved form; and

accompanied by the fee prescribed under a regulation.

The applicant must give the chief executive any relevant information or document the chief executive reasonably requires to decide the application.

The chief executive must consider the application and either grant, or refuse to grant, the application.

If the chief executive decides to grant the application, the chief executive must as soon as practicable—

issue a new licence to the applicant; and

if the chief executive decides to impose a condition on the licence under section 17A(2)(a) or 17B(2)(a) when the licence is renewed—give the licensee an information notice for the decision.

The new licence takes effect from the day the licence being renewed would otherwise have expired.

If the chief executive decides to refuse to grant the application, the chief executive must, as soon as practicable—

give the applicant an information notice about the decision; and

refund the fee mentioned in subsection (3)(b).
