Food Act 2006

If the chief executive believes a ground exists to suspend or cancel the approval, the chief executive must give the auditor a notice under this section (a show cause notice).

The show cause notice must state the following—

the action the chief executive proposes taking under this part (the proposed action);

the grounds for the proposed action;

an outline of the facts and circumstances forming the basis for the grounds;

if the proposed action is suspension of the approval—the proposed suspension period;

that the auditor may, within a stated period (the show cause period), make written representations to the chief executive to show why the proposed action should not be taken.

The show cause period must end at least 21 days after the auditor is given the show cause notice.
