167: Removal from public register

You could also call this:

"When you're no longer recognised, your name is removed from the public register."

Illustration for Food Act 2014

If you are a recognised agency, person, or class, the chief executive must remove your name from the public register when your recognition period ends and is not extended under section 151(3)(b) or renewed. This happens as soon as possible after the period ends. The chief executive does this to keep the register up to date.

When a recognised agency, person, or class has their recognition withdrawn under section 162 or 163, or surrendered under section 165, the chief executive must take action. You can find more information about these sections in the relevant links.

The chief executive must record the withdrawal or surrender and remove you from the public register as soon as possible after this happens. They do this by updating the register with the date the withdrawal or surrender takes effect and removing your name.
