16. Further matters to be taken into account-local major controlled operations



(1) An authority to conduct a local major controlled operation may not be
granted unless the chief officer is satisfied on reasonable grounds-

   (a)  that a relevant offence has been, is being or is likely to be,
        committed; and

   (b)  that the controlled operation will be conducted wholly in this
        jurisdiction; and

   (c)  that the nature and extent of the suspected criminal activity are such
        as to justify the conduct of a controlled operation in this
        jurisdiction.

(2) For the avoidance of doubt, the matters referred to in subsection (1) are
in addition to the matters referred to in section 14.
