(a) amend it to impose or remove a condition;

(b) cancel or suspend it.

(2) The power under subsection (1) may be exercised at any time after QBCC has complied with subdivision 2 .

Note—

For conduct mentioned in subsection (3) , see part 4 (Complaints, investigations and disciplinary proceedings relating to building certifiers).
