Transport services licensing - Revocation of transport service licences

30U: Suspension of transport service licence or imposition of conditions

You could also call this:

“Rules for changing or stopping your transport service licence”

The Director can suspend your transport service licence or put conditions on it if:

You or someone controlling the service doesn’t have a required certificate.

You or someone controlling the service doesn’t follow the rules in this Part, Part 4B, the regulations, or other rules.

If you have a small passenger service licence, you need someone controlling the service or a representative who lives in New Zealand.

The suspension or conditions will end when the Director is sure that these problems are fixed.

If your licence is suspended or has conditions put on it, there are special rules (called Subpart 5) that apply to this decision.
