When you apply for a licensed promoter's licence, the Secretary has to investigate you. The Secretary will do what they think is necessary to decide if they can grant you a licence. They will look at your application and the information you provide.

The Secretary can ask you for more information about your application. They can also ask the Police for information they have about you or important people involved in your application. The Secretary can send your application and supporting information to the Police.

If the Secretary asks you or the Police for information, you must provide it as soon as reasonably possible. The Secretary has the power to do all these things to help them make a decision about your licence application. The Secretary's investigation is an important part of deciding whether to grant you a licensed promoter's licence.
