91 Notification of decision—variation of authorisation to change holder
(1) If an application is made under section 89 to vary a controlled activity authorisation by specifying another person (the prospective holder) as the holder, the Minister must, as soon as practicable after making a decision on the application:
(a) give written notice of the decision to the applicant and the prospective holder; and
(a) specify the reasons for the decision; and
(b) if the decision is to vary the authorisation:
(i) specify the day the variation takes effect (which must not be earlier than the day after the notice is given); and
(ii) include a copy of the authorisation as varied.
Note: Section 266 of the Administrative Review Tribunal Act 2024 requires a decision‑maker to notify persons whose interests are affected by the decision of the making of the decision and their right to have the decision reviewed. In so notifying, the decision‑maker must have regard to the matters (if any) prescribed by rules made under that Act.
