602—Suspension or cancellation of licence—on regulator's initiative

        (1)         The regulator, on its own initiative, may suspend or cancel a major hazard facility licence if satisfied about 1 or more of the following:

            (a)         the operator has failed to ensure that the facility is operated safely and competently;

            (b)         the operator has failed to ensure compliance with a condition of the licence;

            (c)         the operator, in the application for the grant or renewal of the licence or on request by the regulator for additional information—

                  (i)         gave information that was false or misleading in a material particular; or

                  (ii)         failed to give any material information that should have been given in that application or on that request; or

            (d)         the operator has failed to pay the annual fee payable under regulation 585A as required by that regulation.

        (2)         If the regulator suspends or cancels a major hazard facility licence, the regulator may disqualify the operator from applying for a further major hazard facility licence.

Note—

A decision to suspend a licence, to cancel a licence or to disqualify the operator from applying for a further licence is a reviewable decision (see regulation 676).
