In deciding whether to issue an authority or special approval, the Act requires the Regulator to consider a set of clearly defined criteria and, in most cases, to conduct a public consultation process about the application.
Due to public consultation requirements and the high volume of applications we receive, it may take at least 4 months until you are advised of an outcome.
Breach of the Authority will result in cancellation of the Authority or other disciplinary action.
