registration to provide the Director with any consent required by another
person or body to enable the Director to obtain from the other person or body
information to check or confirm any information set out in the application.

(2) A reference in this Part to seeking further information in relation to an
application includes a reference to requiring the provision of any consent
referred to in subsection (1).
