FIREARMS ACT 1996 - SECT 49A

Restrictions on application for licence following cancellation

    (1)     This section applies if the Chief Commissioner cancels a licence under section 49.

    (2)     The Chief Commissioner may specify a period of time (not being more than 12 months after the date of cancellation) within which the person who held the licence is not entitled to apply for such a licence.

    (3)     If the Chief Commissioner does not specify a period, the person who held the licence is not entitled to apply for such a licence for a period of 12 months after the date of cancellation.

    (4)     If the person who held the licence applies for the same category of licence, the application is taken to be an application for a new licence and not for the renewal of the licence that was cancelled.
