The show cause notice must state the following— the action the chief executive proposes taking under this subdivision (the proposed action ); the grounds for the proposed action; an outline of the facts and circumstances forming the basis for the grounds; if the proposed action is suspension of the licence—the proposed suspension period; that the key person licensee may, within a stated period (the show cause period ), make written representations to the chief executive to show why the proposed action should not be taken. The show cause period must end at least 21 days after the key person licensee is given the show cause notice.
