New South Wales Consolidated Acts

SURVEYING AND SPATIAL INFORMATION ACT 2002 - SECT 10A

10A Re-registration after removal for non-payment of registration administration fee

(1) The Board must cause a registered surveyor's name to be removed from the register of surveyors if the surveyor has failed to pay the registration administration fee on or before 31 August in any year.

(2) A person whose name has been removed from the register of surveyors for failure to pay the registration administration fee is entitled to re-registration if the person pays to the Board any unpaid registration administration fee or fees together with the fee for an application for restoration of registration.

(3) The entitlement to re-registration is an entitlement to registration on the same terms and subject to the same conditions (if any) as applied to the person's registration immediately before the removal of the person's name from the register of surveyors.

(4) A person registered pursuant to an entitlement to re-registration under this section is taken to have been so registered on and from the day the person's name was removed from the register of surveyors or on and from such later day as the Board determines and notifies to the person. However, nothing in this subsection affects any proceedings for an offence instituted against the person before the person was entitled to be re-registered.

(5) Nothing in this section requires the Board to re-register a person if the Board is satisfied that the person would not be entitled to be registered as a registered surveyor but for this section.

(6) An entitlement to re-registration under this section does not override any other provision of this Act pursuant to which a person's name is authorised or required to be removed from the register of surveyors.
