Liquor Act 1992

This section applies if the commissioner reasonably believes a ground exists to suspend or cancel an approval as a controller, but the commissioner has not given an immediate suspension notice to the holder of the approval.

The commissioner must give the holder of the approval a written notice under this section (a show cause notice).

The show cause notice must state the following—

the action (the proposed action) the commissioner proposes taking under this division;

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;

an invitation to the holder to show within a stated period (the show cause period) why the proposed action should not be taken.

The show cause period must be a period ending not less than 21 days after the show cause notice is given to the holder.
