(1) If the regulator proposes to refuse to grant a registration, the regulator must give the applicant:
(a) informing the applicant of the reasons for the proposed refusal; and
(b) advising the applicant that the applicant may, by a specified date, (being not less than 28 days after giving the notice) make a submission to the regulator in relation to the proposed refusal.
(2) After the date specified in a notice under subregulation (1), the regulator must:
(a) if the applicant has made a submission in relation to the proposed refusal to grant the registration--consider that submission; and
(b) whether or not the applicant has made a submission--decide whether to grant or refuse to grant the registration; and
(c) within 14 days after making that decision--give the applicant written notice of the decision, including the reasons for the decision.
Note: A refusal to grant a registration is a reviewable decision (see
regulation 676).
