Biosecurity Act 2014

The holder of a relevant authority may apply to the chief executive to amend the authority—

by amending the conditions of the authority; or

if the authority is an approval of a biosecurity accreditation scheme—by amending the scheme.

The application must—

be in the approved form; and

be accompanied by the fee prescribed under a regulation.

However, if the relevant authority is a prohibited matter or restricted matter permit, the chief executive may waive payment of the fee if the chief executive is satisfied of the matters mentioned in section 214(6)(a) or (b).

The chief executive must consider the application and decide to amend, or refuse to amend, the authority.

If the chief executive decides to refuse to amend the authority, the chief executive must as soon as practicable give the applicant an information notice for the decision.

If the chief executive decides to amend the authority, the chief executive must as soon as practicable issue to the applicant another relevant authority showing the amendment.
