Plumbing and Drainage Act 2018

If the commissioner is satisfied a ground exists to take disciplinary action against a licensee, the commissioner must give the licensee a notice (a show cause notice) before taking the action.

The show cause notice must—

outline the facts and circumstances forming the grounds for taking the disciplinary action against the licensee; and

state the types of disciplinary action that may be taken under section 52; and

invite the licensee to make an oral or written submission, within a stated period of at least 20 business days after the notice is given to the licensee (the show cause period), giving reasons why the disciplinary action should not be taken; and

state how to make a submission.
