If there is a change in the ownership of land or a building for which a parking bay licence is in force, the new owner must, within the period of 28 days after the change occurs, give the CEO notice of the change.
Penalty: $1 000.

surrender the licence to the CEO.
An application for the transfer of the licence must —
be in a form approved by the CEO; and
be accompanied by any prescribed documents or prescribed information.
On receiving an application, the CEO must transfer the licence unless grounds for suspending or cancelling it under section 13 exist or would exist if it were transferred.
During the 28 day period after the change of ownership occurs, the new owner may permit vehicles to be parked in accordance with the licence, and this Act applies to the new owner during the period as if the new owner were the licensee.
If the new owner applies for the transfer of the licence within the 28 day period, the new owner may continue to permit vehicles to be parked in accordance with the licence after the end of the period, and this Act applies to the new owner as if the new owner were the licensee, until —
the CEO transfers the licence to the new owner; or
if the CEO decides not to transfer the licence — notice of the decision is served on the new owner.
If the CEO decides not to transfer the licence, it is taken to have been cancelled when notice of the decision is served on the new owner with a statement of the reasons for the decision.
