140 Grant or refusal of renewal of permit
A relevant decision-maker may, after considering an application for renewal of an individual permit, renew the permit with or without conditions, or refuse to renew the permit.
A relevant decision-maker must refuse to renew the permit in prescribed circumstances.
A relevant decision-maker may refuse to renew the permit—
if the application does not comply with any requirement imposed by or under this Act, including the payment of the relevant application fee; or
if the relevant decision-maker is not satisfied that the applicant is a suitable person to continue to hold the permit; or
if the relevant decision-maker considers that it would not be appropriate to renew the permit due to the occurrence of an emergency; or
on any prescribed ground; or
for any other reason that the relevant decision-maker considers to be sufficient reason for refusing the application.
If a relevant decision-maker refuses to renew an individual permit, the relevant decision-maker must, by written notice—
notify the applicant of the decision; and
provide the applicant with reasons for the decision; and
notify the applicant that the applicant may apply for a review of the decision under Part 13.
