194: Objections

You could also call this:

"People can object to your licence application if they think you're not suitable"

When you apply for a licensed promoter's licence, the Police or any other person can object to your application. You need to know that the Police have one month to lodge their objection after they get a copy of your application. The Police must send their objection to the Secretary.

If someone else wants to object to your application, they must do it within one month after your application is made public. They must lodge their objection with the Secretary and say why they are objecting, which must be about whether you or a key person in your application is suitable according to the matters specified in section 201(2) and (3). Their objection must also state the reasons for objecting.

When an objection is lodged with the Secretary, the Secretary must send a copy of the objection to you within seven days.
