Victorian Current Acts

SURVEYING ACT 2004 - SECT 6

    (1)     The Board must grant registration to an applicant if—

        (a)     the applicant is qualified for registration under section 5; and

        (b)     there are no grounds under subsection (2) on which the Board may refuse to grant registration to the applicant; and

        (c)     the applicant has provided the information required under section 4; and

        (d)     the applicant has paid the application fee required by section 4(2)(d) and the prescribed registration fee.

    (2)     The Board may refuse to grant registration to an applicant if—

        (a)     the applicant has been found guilty of an offence where the applicant's ability to practise as a licensed surveyor is likely to be affected because of the finding of guilt or where it is not in the public interest to allow the applicant to practise as a licensed surveyor because of the finding of guilt; or

        (b)     the applicant has previously held a right to practise cadastral surveying in another State, a Territory or another country, being the equivalent of registration as a licensed surveyor under this Act, and that right has been cancelled or suspended and not restored because of conduct which, if committed in Victoria, would entitle the Board to suspend or cancel the registration.
