Western Australian Current Regulations Western Australian Current Regulations (1A) In this
regulation —
re‑issue , in relation to a licence or
permit, means to issue a licence or permit to a person with the same licence,
permit or authorisation number as previously held by the person.
(1) The Board may,
instead of issuing a licence or permit to a person who has applied for one,
re‑issue a licence or permit to the person if the person previously held
a licence or permit of the same type or was authorised to carry out plumbing
work of the same type, under these regulations, the Country Areas Water Supply
By‑laws 1957 , the Country Towns Sewerage
By‑laws 1952 1 or the Metropolitan Water Supply, Sewerage and
Drainage By‑laws 1981 .
(2) The Board may
re‑issue a licence or permit to a person who has applied for the renewal
of a licence or permit if the application for renewal is made after the
renewal period for the licence or permit referred to in
regulation 19A(2).
(3) The provisions of
this Part that apply to the issue of a licence or permit apply to the
re‑issue of a licence or permit except that subregulation (4)
applies to the person instead of regulation 17(1)(b).
(4) Before
re‑issuing a licence or permit, the Board must be satisfied that,
because of the person’s experience or qualifications, the applicant
would be as competent to carry out the work to be covered by the licence or
permit as a person who has recently met the requirements set out in
Schedule 3 for a licence or permit that covers that work.
(5) In satisfying
itself of the matter set out in subregulation (4), the Board is to
satisfy itself in the same manner and in relation to the same sorts of things
that it would in relation to an application for the issue of an equivalent
licence or permit under regulation 17(1).
(6) For the purposes
of subregulation (1), a plumbing contractor’s licence, a
tradesperson’s licence, a tradesperson’s licence (drainage
plumbing) and a provisional tradesperson’s licence are each a type of
licence, regardless of what plumbing work is specified or authorised by the
licence.
(7) For the purposes
of subregulation (1), a restricted plumbing permit is a type of permit,
regardless of what plumbing work is specified or authorised by the permit.
