Australian Capital Territory Numbered Acts Australian Capital Territory Numbered Acts(1) If a licence is issued to an unincorporated body, the nominated person for the body in relation to the licence is taken to be the licensee.
Examples
1 If a notice or other document is required (or permitted) to be given under this Act to the licensee of a licence issued to an unincorporated body, the notice or other document must (or may) be given to the nominated person for the body in relation to the licence to which the notice or document relates.
2 If, under this Act, something must be done by the licensee of a licence issued to an unincorporated body, the nominated person for the body in relation to the licence to which the thing relates is required to do the thing. If failure to do the thing is an offence, the nominated person commits the offence.

2 For a thing to which s (1), example 2 applies, each executive officer of the body is required to do the thing (or ensure that it is done). If failure to do the thing is an offence, each executive officer commits the offence.
