Surveying Act 2004 - SECT 7

Renewal of registration

7. Renewal of registration



(1) An application for renewal of registration-

   (a)  must be made to the Board before the existing registration expires;
        and

   (b)  must be accompanied by the prescribed fee.

(2) If a person does not apply for renewal of registration before the end of
the existing registration period, the Board may renew that person's
registration if-

   (a)  the application is made within 3 months after the end of the
        registration period; and

   (b)  the person pays an additional prescribed fee for a late application
        for renewal.





(3) If a person's registration has expired without being renewed, the person
is deemed to be registered for a period of 3 months after that expiry, and if,
at the end of that period of 3 months, the person has not renewed his or her
registration, the Board must remove that person's name from the register.

(4) If the Board is satisfied that a person applying for renewal of
registration-

   (a)  has not practised as a licensed surveyor during the period of 12
        months immediately preceding the application; or

   (b)  has not undertaken further professional education or training in
        cadastral surveying in accordance with a determination of the Board,
        notice of which has been given to the person; or

   (c)  has previously held a right to practise as a licensed surveyor in
        another State or 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-

the Board may refuse to renew the registration of the person.

(5) The Board may refuse to renew the registration of a person on any ground
on which the Board might refuse to grant registration.
