Food Act 2003

The holder of a certificate of registration under this Part may, at any time during the currency of the registration, apply to the council of the municipal area in which the food business is located for a renewal of the registration.

The application is to be accompanied by the fee, if any, determined by the council.

The council may, after considering an application for renewal of registration – grant the application, with or without conditions; or refuse the application.

If the council grants an application for renewal of registration, the registration is renewed by the issue of a further certificate of registration – that takes effect from the expiry of the holder's current certificate of registration; or if the certificate is issued after that expiry, that takes effect, or is taken to have effect, from the date specified in the certificate.

If the council refuses an application for renewal of registration, the council must give notice of the refusal in writing to the applicant setting out the reasons for the refusal.

Nothing in this section gives any force to a certificate of registration that has expired or been cancelled, or otherwise affects the operation of section 90.
