Return of cancelled, suspended or amended relevant authority
491 Return of cancelled, suspended or amended relevant authority
This section applies if the chief executive cancels, suspends or amends a relevant authority under this chapter.
The chief executive may, by notice given to the holder of the authority, require the holder to return the document evidencing the authority to the chief executive within 14 days, or a later stated time.
The holder must comply with the notice, unless the holder has a reasonable excuse for not complying with it.Maximum penalty—40 penalty units.
If the document for a suspended relevant authority has been returned to the chief executive, the chief executive must return the document to the holder of the relevant authority at the end of the suspension period.
If the document for an amended relevant authority has been returned to the chief executive, the chief executive must return the document to the holder of the relevant authority after amending it.
However, the amendment of a relevant authority does not depend on the document for the authority being returned to the chief executive by the holder of the authority or by the chief executive to the holder of the authority.
The chief executive is not required to return the document for a relevant authority that is cancelled.
