Environmental Protection Act 1994
Chapter 5 Environmental authorities and environmentally relevant activities
Part 11 Cancellation or suspension of environmental authorities by administering authority

[s 284]

          (4)   However, if the decision was to cancel or suspend the
                environmental authority because of the conviction of the
                holder for an offence, the cancellation or suspension—
                (a)   does not take effect until—
                      (i)    the period to appeal against the conviction ends;
                             and
                      (ii) if the appeal is made against the conviction—the
                           appeal is finally decided or is otherwise ended; and
                (b)   has no effect if the conviction is quashed on appeal.


Division 3                    Steps after making decision

284        Steps for cancellation or suspension
          (1)   This section applies if the proposed action decision is to take
                action and the decision has taken effect.
          (2)   The administering authority must, as soon as practicable—
                (a)   take the action; and
                (b)   record the action in the relevant register.
          (3)   Also, if the action is suspension of an environmental
                authority, the administering authority must record when the
                suspension period starts and ends in the relevant register.
          (4)   A suspension of an environmental authority ends at the end of
                the day recorded in the relevant register as the end of the
                suspension period.
