343 Licensing, sale and disposal of surrendered firearms and related things
A person who surrenders a firearm or related thing by approved surrender may, within 14 days after surrendering it, make an application (an appropriate application) under this Act for the necessary firearm authority to authorise the person to possess the firearm or related thing.
If the person does not make an appropriate application within that 14 days, or an appropriate application made by the person within that 14 days is unsuccessful, the firearm or related thing can be dealt with by the Commissioner under section 367.
An appropriate application is unsuccessful if —
the application is refused and any subsequent reviews and appeals in relation to that refusal have been finally determined or otherwise disposed of; or
the application is withdrawn.
A prohibited accessory cannot be the subject of an appropriate application.
