Weapons Act 1990

An authorised officer may amend the conditions applying to a shooting club permit of an approved shooting club—

on the application of the shooting club; or

on the initiative of the authorised officer.

In making an amendment under subsection (1), the authorised officer must have regard to the need to protect persons from death or injury and property from unlawful destruction or damage.

Before making an amendment under subsection (1)(b), the authorised officer must—

give written notice to the club informing it—

of the proposed amendment; and

that it may make written submissions to the authorised officer about the proposed amendment before a specified day (not earlier than 21 days after the notice is given to the shooting club); and

have regard to submissions made to the authorised officer by the shooting club before the specified day.

If an authorised officer amends the conditions applying to a shooting club permit, the authorised officer must give written notice of the amendment to the shooting club.

The amendment takes effect—

on the day the written notice of the amendment is given to the shooting club; or

if a later day is specified in the notice—on the specified day.

An authorised officer may refuse to make an amendment under subsection (1)(a) by written notice given to the shooting club stating the reasons for the refusal.
