589  Amendment imposed by regulator
 (1) The regulator may, on its own initiative, amend a major hazard facility licence, including by amending the licence to:
 (a) vary or delete a condition of the licence; or
 (b) impose a new condition on the licence.
 (2) If the regulator proposes to amend a licence, the regulator must give a written notice:
 (a) setting out the proposed amendment and the reasons for it; and
 (b) advising the operator that the operator may, by a specified date (being not less than 28 days after giving the notice), make a submission to the regulator in relation to the proposed amendment.
 (3) After the date specified in a notice under subregulation (2), the regulator must:
 (a) if the operator has made a submission in relation to the proposed amendment—consider that submission; and
 (b) whether or not the operator has made a submission—decide:
 (i) to make the proposed amendment; or
 (ii) not to make any amendment; or
 (iii) to make a different amendment that results from consideration of any submission made by the operator; and
 (c) within 14 days after making that decision, give the operator written notice that:
 (i) sets out the amendment, if any; and
 (ii) if a submission was made in relation to the proposed amendment—sets out the regulator's reasons for making the amendment; and
 (iii) specifies the date (being not less than 28 days after the operator is given the notice) on which the amendment, if any, takes effect.
Note: A decision to amend a licence is a reviewable decision (see regulation 676).
