### sec.14 Decision on application
The chief executive must consider an application for a licence and either—
grant the licence; or
refuse to grant the licence.
Despite subsection (1) , if the applicant or another person required to be an appropriate person for the grant of the licence has been charged with a disqualifying offence, the chief executive may defer making a decision to grant or to refuse to grant the licence until the end of the proceeding for the charge.
If the chief executive decides to grant the licence, the chief executive must promptly give the applicant—
the licence; and
if a condition is stated on the licence under section 15 —a QCAT information notice for the decision to impose the condition.
A licence must state each type of security provider the functions of which may be carried out under the licence and, for a security officer, the category of functions that may be carried out under the licence.
If the chief executive decides to refuse to grant a licence, or grants a licence other than the licence applied for, the chief executive must give the applicant a QCAT information notice for the decision.
If the chief executive decides to defer making a decision to grant or to refuse to grant the licence, the chief executive must promptly give the applicant a QCAT information notice for the decision to defer making a decision to grant or to refuse to grant the licence.
This section is subject to section 28 (1) .
