Surveying Act 2004 - SECT 6

Grant of registration

6. Grant of registration



(1) The Board must grant registration to an applicant if-

   (a)  the applicant is qualified for registration under section 5; and

   (b)  there are no grounds under subsection (2) on which the Board may
        refuse to grant registration to the applicant; and

   (c)  the applicant has provided the information required under section 4;
        and

   (d)  the applicant has paid the application fee required by section 4(2)(d)
        and the prescribed registration fee.

(2) The Board may refuse to grant registration to an applicant if-

   (a)  the applicant has been found guilty of an offence where the
        applicant's ability to practise as a licensed surveyor is likely to be
        affected because of the finding of guilt or where it is not in the
        public interest to allow the applicant to practise as a licensed
        surveyor because of the finding of guilt; or

   (b)  the applicant has previously held a right to practise cadastral
        surveying in another State, a Territory or another country, being the
        equivalent of registration as a licensed surveyor under this Act, and
        that right has been cancelled or suspended and not restored because of
        conduct which, if committed in Victoria, would entitle the Board to
        suspend or cancel the registration.
