Recreation Areas Management Act 2006

In considering an application to transfer a commercial activity permit, the chief executive must have regard to the following matters—

whether the proposed transferee is a suitable person to hold the permit;

whether there is adequate insurance cover for the activities proposed to be conducted under the permit;

whether the holder of the permit, or the proposed transferee, owes any fee or other amount payable under—

this Act; or

if the permit is part of a single integrated permission or GBR region permit—a related Act;

all matters relevant to ensuring the orderly and proper management of the recreation area to which the permit applies.

However, subsection (1)(b) does not apply if the chief executive considers insurance cover is not required having regard to the nature of the proposed activities.

For considering whether the proposed transferee is a suitable person under subsection (1)(a), the chief executive may—

inquire about, and have regard to, the matters mentioned in section 50(3) in relation to the transferee; and

have regard to whether any of the grounds mentioned in section 53(3) apply in relation the transferee.

For subsection (3), sections 50(3) and (4) and 53(3) apply as if a reference in those sections to the applicant were a reference to the transferee.
