A person stops being the representative of an approved historical society if the person stops holding the society’s responsible position.

Maximum penalty—10 penalty units. The next person to hold an approved historical society’s responsible position after another person stops being the society’s representative must give written notice (the representative notice ) of that fact to an authorised officer within 28 days after becoming the holder of the responsible position. The authorised officer may accept a representative notice from a person if the authorised officer is satisfied the person— holds the society’s responsible position; and is an appropriate person under section 116 .

If the authorised officer decides to refuse to accept a representative notice from a person, the authorised officer must give the person written notice of the refusal, that also states the reasons for the refusal.
