147 Changes in management of body corporate
(1) If a body corporate is a licensed dealer, and a person becomes a
director of the body corporate or otherwise concerned in its
management in addition to or in the place of an existing director or
person so concerned, the body corporate must, not later than
28 days after the date on which the event occurs, give to the
Director a notice complying with subsection (2).
(2) A notice under subsection (1) must:
(a) state the full name, date of birth and present residential
address of the person who has become a director of the body
corporate or otherwise concerned in its management; and
(b) give the date on which the event in question occurred; and
(c) state any other addresses at which the person has resided
during the period of 3 years immediately preceding the date of
the notice; and
(d) where the person has (whether in the Territory or elsewhere)
previously carried on business as a dealer or been employed
by a dealer, give particulars of that business or employment;
and
(e) be accompanied by a certificate signed by 2 others to the
effect that the person would be a fit and proper person to hold
a licence.
(3) If a body corporate gives to the Director a notice under
subsection (1), the Director must send a copy of the notice to the
Commissioner of Police, who must, within 14 days of receiving it,
lodge with the Director a notice in writing which either:
(a) objects to the continuation in force of the licence held by the
body corporate on the grounds that the person who has
become a director, or otherwise concerned in its management,
would not be a fit and proper person to hold a licence; or

(b) states that nothing is known about that person which warrants
such an objection.
