30S: When Director may revoke transport service licence

You could also call this:

"When the Director can cancel a transport service licence"

Illustration for Land Transport Act 1998

The Director can revoke a transport service licence if they think the holder is not a fit and proper person. You are not a fit and proper person if you do something that shows you cannot be trusted to hold a transport service licence. The Director can also revoke a licence if someone in control of the transport service, a representative, or a driver is not a fit and proper person. The Director does not consider drivers who connect with passengers under a facilitated cost-sharing arrangement when deciding if a representative is fit and proper. If the Director decides to revoke a transport service licence, Subpart 5 applies to that decision. This means the Director must follow the rules in Subpart 5 when revoking a licence.
