Queensland Heritage Act 1992

If the chief executive is satisfied a permit to enter a protected area should be cancelled, the chief executive must give the permit holder a notice inviting the permit holder to show cause why the permit should not be cancelled.

The notice must state—

the facts and circumstances forming the basis for the chief executive’s belief that the permit should be cancelled; and

that representations may be made about the proposed cancellation; and

how the representations may be made; and

where the representations may be made or sent; and

a day and time by which the representations must be made.

The day stated in the notice must be at least 20 business days after the notice is given.

If, after considering any submission about the proposed cancellation, the chief executive is still satisfied the permit should be cancelled, the chief executive must decide to cancel the permit.

The chief executive must give the permit holder written notice of the decision within 10 business days after the decision is made.

The cancellation takes effect on—

if the applicant does not appeal against the decision—the day the period for appeals ends; or

if the applicant appeals against the decision but withdraws the appeal—the day the appeal is withdrawn; or

if the applicant appeals against the decision and the appeal is dismissed—the day the appeal is ended.
