(1) After making a decision on an application, CASA must give the applicant written notice of the decision, including:
(a) if the decision was to grant the authorisation applied for:
(i) if these Regulations provide for a certificate or other document to be issued to the applicant as evidence that he or she holds the authorisation--that document; and
(ii) if the decision included a decision to impose a condition that was not sought by the applicant--the reasons for the decision; or
(b) if the decision was to refuse to grant the authorisation--the reasons for the decision.
Note: Most decisions in relation to authorisations are reviewable by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal--see section 31 of the Act, regulation 201.004 and regulation 297A of CAR. Section 27A of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975 requires that a person affected by a reviewable decision be given notice of the existence of the right of review.
(2) A notice or document mentioned in subregulation (1) may state the date on which the authorisation comes into effect.
(3) The date must not be before the date of the notice or document.
(4) A failure by CASA to comply with subparagraph (1)(a)(ii) or paragraph (1)(b) in relation to a decision does not invalidate the decision.
