Renewal of permit

303. Renewal of permit



(1) The holder of a permit may apply for the renewal of the permit for a
further term not exceeding 5 years.

(2) An application for the renewal of a permit must be made to the Authority
in the form and manner required by the Authority.

(3) The Authority may renew the permit if-

   (a)  the applicant consents to the Authority obtaining, and provides
        sufficient information to enable the Authority to obtain, a search of
        any known information concerning the applicant; and

   (b)  as a result of the search, the Authority is satisfied that the
        applicant has not been convicted or found guilty of, or has a charge
        pending for, an offence relating to violence, weapons, terrorism,
        damage to property, illegal drugs or dishonesty within the last 10
        years that in the opinion of the Authority would pose a security risk
        in relation to that person; and

   (c)  the Authority is satisfied that the applicant is still a suitable
        person to hold a permit.

(4) Nothing in this regulation requires a person to undergo a security
assessment if the person has, under the same name, previously undergone a
security assessment under these Regulations or the Dangerous Goods
(Explosives) Regulations 2000.
