Public Health Act 2016

The appropriate enforcement agency may grant an activity licence that authorises a person to carry on one or more licensable activities.

An activity licence —

may be granted only to an individual; and

is not transferable to another individual.

A person may apply, in the approved form, to the appropriate enforcement agency for an activity licence, specifying the licensable activity or activities that the person proposes to carry on.

The application must be accompanied by —

any documents or information that the appropriate enforcement agency reasonably requires for a proper consideration of the application; and

either —

if the appropriate enforcement agency is a local government, the fee, if any, imposed by the agency in accordance with section 294; or

in any other case, the fee, if any, prescribed by the regulations.

After considering an application for an activity licence, the appropriate enforcement agency may —

grant the application, with or without conditions; or

refuse the application.

In deciding whether to grant or refuse the application, the appropriate enforcement agency must have regard to any matters prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this subsection.

If the appropriate enforcement agency grants an application for an activity licence, the agency must issue the applicant with an activity licence, in the approved form, that —

specifies the name of the person to whom the licence is issued; and

specifies the licensable activity or activities authorised to be carried on by the licence; and

sets out any conditions to which the licence is subject; and

specifies the period for which the licence remains in force.

If the appropriate enforcement agency refuses an application for an activity licence, the agency must give written notice of the refusal to the applicant setting out the reasons for the refusal.
