Professional Engineers Act 2002

The board must keep a register of persons who are, or have been, registered professional engineers.

The register may be kept in the way the board considers appropriate, including, for example, in an electronic form.

The register must contain all the following particulars for each person—

the person’s name and contact details;

details of the person’s eligibility for registration as a registered professional engineer;

if the tribunal makes an order about the person under section 131(2) or (3) or section 132(2)(b)—details of the order, other than any details identified in the order as details that are not to be included in the register;

if the tribunal conducts a disciplinary proceeding in relation to the person because of the person’s conviction for an offence against this Act—the fact of the conviction;

if the person’s registration is subject to a condition—particulars of the condition;

if the board cautions or reprimands the person under section 73(2)(c)—particulars of the caution or reprimand;

if the person’s registration is cancelled under section 29(4)—the day the registration is cancelled and the reasons for the cancellation;

if the person’s registration is not renewed under section 20—the reasons for not renewing the registration;

if the person’s registration is not restored under section 24—the reasons for not restoring the registration;

whether the person is registered as a practising professional engineer or non-practising professional engineer;

other particulars relevant to the person’s registration and prescribed under a regulation.

If an order mentioned in subsection (3)(c) states a period in which details of the order may be included in the register, the details may be included in the register only for the stated period.

The particulars mentioned in subsection (3)(e) to (i) for a relevant decision of the board must not be included in the register until—

the period in which the person may apply to the tribunal for a review of the decision has ended; or

if the person has applied to the tribunal for a review of the decision—the review, and any appeal from the tribunal’s decision on the review, has been decided or is otherwise ended.

However, if a person applies to the tribunal for a review of a relevant decision of the board, the particulars mentioned in subsection (3)(e) to (i) for the decision may only be included in the register if—

the review, and any appeal from the tribunal’s decision on the review, is decided or otherwise ended; and

the result of the decision on the review and any appeal from the decision, or the ending of the review or appeal, is that the person’s registration remains cancelled or may not be renewed or restored.

In this section—

impose a condition on a person’s registration; or

caution or reprimand a person; or

cancel, or refuse to renew or restore, a person’s registration.
