Compliance
38XNTemporary suspension of shooting range’s operations for non-compliance with improvement notice
A member of the Police may, by notice in writing to the range operator, temporarily suspend the operations of the shooting range if the member is satisfied that the shooting range has failed to comply with an improvement notice issued under section 38XL.
A notice of temporary suspension must state—
- the ground on which the notice is given; and
- the date on which the suspension begins.
In the case of a notice of temporary suspension issued to a pistol shooting range, the notice must also state—
- that the suspension is to enable the Police to consider cancelling the shooting range’s certification on that ground; and
- that the suspension lasts until notice of the decision as to whether to cancel the certification is given to the range operator, but, if the notice is not given within 90 days after the suspension takes effect, the suspension ends with the close of that 90-day period.
