15A Changes to responsible persons for body corporate (1) An accredited operator that is a body corporate must give written notice to the Director when a person ceases to be a responsible person for the body corporate within 14 days of the person ceasing to be a responsible person. (2) Despite the time period mentioned in subsection (1), if a person ceases to be a responsible person for a body corporate and the body corporate no longer has a responsible person because section 9(3)(c) applies to each responsible person for the body corporate, the body corporate must, as soon as practicable, notify the Director. Note for subsection (2) Under section 75(3A), the Director must suspend the accreditation of the body corporate if the body corporate does not have any responsible persons because section 9(3)(c) applies to the responsible persons of the body corporate. (3) An accredited operator that is a body corporate must give written notice to the Director when a person becomes a responsible person for the body corporate within 3 days of the person becoming a responsible person. (4) It is a condition of the accreditation of a body corporate that the body corporate complies with subsections (1), (2) and (3). (5) The Director may require the responsible person mentioned in subsection (3) to provide the Director with sufficient evidence, within the period specified by the Director, that section 9(3)(c) does not apply to the responsible person. Note for subsection (5) Under section 9(4), the Director may exempt a responsible person for a body corporate from the requirement to be a fit and proper person for the purposes of accreditation, or renewal of accreditation, of the body corporate. (6) The Director may suspend the accreditation of an accredited operator until the Director is satisfied that section 9(3)(c) does not apply to the responsible person mentioned in subsection (5). Note for subsection (6) The Director may make inquiries about a responsible person for a body corporate to decide whether the responsible person is a fit and proper person for the purposes of accreditation, or renewal of accreditation, of the body corporate.
