(1) The regulator may, on its own initiative, amend an asbestos removal licence or asbestos assessor licence, including by amending the licence to—
(a) vary or delete a condition of the licence; or
(b) impose a new condition on the licence.
(2) If the regulator proposes to amend a licence, the regulator must give the licence-holder written notice—
(a) setting out the proposed amendment and the reasons for it; and
(b) advising the licence-holder that the licence-holder may, by a specified date (being not less than 28 days after the day the notice is given), make a submission to the regulator in relation to the proposed amendment.
(3) After the date specified in a notice under subsection (2), the regulator must—
(a) if the licence-holder has made a submission in relation to the proposed amendment—consider that submission; and
(b) whether or not the licence-holder has made a submission—decide—
(i) to make the proposed amendment; or
(ii) not to make any amendment; or
(iii) to make a different amendment that results from consideration of any submission made by the licence-holder; and
(c) within 14 days after making that decision, give the licence-holder written notice that—
(i) sets out the amendment, if any, or states that no amendment is to be made; and
(ii) if a submission was made in relation to the proposed amendment—sets out the regulator's reasons for making the amendment; and
(iii) specifies the date (being not less than the 28 days after the day the licence-holder is given the notice) on which the amendment, if any, takes effect.
Note A decision to amend a licence is a reviewable decision (see s 676).
