### sec.106 Suspending or revoking approval
An authorised officer may suspend or revoke an approval if—
a range operator or a range officer contravenes this Act; or

The authorised officer must give written notice of the suspension or revocation to the range operator.
The notice must specify—
if the approval has been suspended—the period of suspension; and
the reasons for the suspension or revocation.
The suspension or revocation takes effect—
on the day the notice is given to the range operator; or
if a later day is specified in the notice—on the specified day.
A range approval that is suspended stops having effect until the suspension is lifted.
