23. (1) An applicant for a permit or a licence shall pay the prescribed fee and shall provide such information in connection with the application as the Council may require.
A permit and a licence may be renewed from time to time in accordance with this section.
An application for a renewal shall be made in writing to the Council and shall be accompanied by the prescribed fee.
If the Council is satisfied that the applicant continues to meet the requirements for the issue of a permit or licence the Council shall renew the permit or licence.
Subject to any directives of the Council setting out application periods for the renewal of a permit or licence, if an application for the renewal of a permit or licence has been made before the expiry of the permit or licence but has not been dealt with by the Council when the permit or licence is due to expire, the permit or licence continues in force until the application for renewal is dealt with and any renewal in such a case shall be taken to have commenced from the day when the permit or licence would have expired but for the renewal.
If the Council considers that a permit or licence should be amended the Council shall give the holder of the permit or licence a written notice —
that sets out the proposed amendment;
states the reasons for the proposed amendment; and
invites the holder to show cause, within fourteen days, why the permit or licence should not be amended as proposed.
The Council may amend the permit or licence if, after considering and having regard to all representations made within fourteen days, the Council considers the permit or licence should be —
amended in the manner set out in the notice under subsection (6); or
in some other manner.
The Council may amend a permit or licence by —
varying the duration of the permit or licence;
varying, adding to or removing terms, conditions or limitations in the permit or licence; or
attaching conditions to the permit or licence.
Where the Council amends a permit or licence it shall give the holder a written notice of the amendment and inform the holder that he may appeal such amendment under section 39.
