(1) On application under section 66, the ACAT may make a cancellation
order for a licence if satisfied that, because of the licensee’s criminal

unacceptable risk to community safety.
(2) For subsection (1)—
(a) the ACAT must consider the need to minimise the possibility of
criminal activity in the construction industry; and
(b) the matters the ACAT may consider include—
(i) whether the licensee has been convicted or found guilty of
a relevant offence; and

(c) has had a conviction for a relevant offence quashed or set aside;
or
(d) has been served with an infringement notice for a relevant
offence; or
