A person is not a suitable person to hold a plant authority if the chief executive is satisfied the person would be unable to carry out activities under the authority in a competent and ethical way.
Without limiting subsection (1), the chief executive may be satisfied the person is unable to carry out activities under the plant authority in a competent and ethical way if—
the person, or an associate of the person, has accumulated 10 or more demerit points under section 103 within 3 years before the relevant day; or
the person, or an associate of the person, was the holder of a plant authority that was cancelled within 2 years before the relevant day because the person or associate accumulated 10 or more demerit points under section 103; or
the person, or an associate of the person, is or was the holder of a corresponding authority that was suspended or cancelled within 3 years before the relevant day.
In this section—
corresponding authority means an authority, however described, that—
was issued, given or granted to a person under the law of another jurisdiction; and
authorises or authorised the taking, keeping or use of a plant that is or was protected under the law of the other jurisdiction.
