Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts(1) A person is eligible to be registered as a surveyor if—
(a) the person has previously been registered in the ACT; and
(b) the surveyor-general is satisfied that the person has a working knowledge of current surveying practices and any practice directions; and
(c) the person's registration was not cancelled other than in accordance with a request by the surveyor.
Note Under the Mutual Recognition Act 1992 (Cwlth) and the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1997 (Cwlth) the surveyor-general will also register as surveyors people who are registered, licensed or otherwise authorised to carry out surveys in a State, the Northern Territory or New Zealand, if the surveys authorised to be carried out are substantially the same.
(2) However, a person who would be eligible under subsection (1) but for the cancellation of the person's registration, is eligible to be registered as a surveyor if the surveyor-general is satisfied, after considering the reason for the cancellation and anything relevant that the person has done since the cancellation, that the person should be registered.
Examples
1 the cancellation was because of a failure to pay a registration fee and the fee is paid
2 the cancellation was because the surveyor carried out a survey that was inaccurate because the surveyor lacked knowledge of current surveying practices, but since cancellation, the surveyor has acquired sufficient knowledge of current surveying practices
Note An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
