A person, who is a member of one of the following classes of persons, must notify the Commission of a change to the person's name or address within 14 days after the change occurs:the owner of a licence; the holder of a licence; the responsible operator of a licence.
If the owner of a perpetual taxi licence leases the licence to another person, the owner of the licence must, no later than 14 days after the commencement or termination of the lease – provide to the Commission a written notice – stating the names and addresses of the owner of the licence and the person leasing the licence; and stating the date of commencement or termination of the lease; and signed by each party to the lease; and in the case of the commencement of a lease, pay the relevant fee specified in Schedule 3. Fine not exceeding 10 penalty units.
The Commission is to record the information provided under subregulation (2)(a) in the register of licences.
A lease takes effect on the date recorded, in the register of licences, under subregulation (2) as the date of its commencement.
It is a defence in proceedings for an offence under subregulation (2) if the defendant establishes that – the person reasonably believed that the Commission had been notified by another person; or in the case of the termination of the lease, the person was unaware of the termination of the lease.
