10 Collector permits
(1) Without limiting section 9, the registrar may issue a permit (a collector permit) authorising the possession of a kind of prohibited weapon or prohibited article, without reference to a particular weapon or article, if the registrar is satisfied that—
(a) the applicant for the permit is a collector of weapons or articles of that kind; and
(b) a weapon or article authorised to be possessed under the permit will form part of a genuine antique, heritage or historical collection.
(2) A regulation may provide for mandatory or discretionary grounds for refusing the issue of a collector permit.
(3) A collector permit may be issued subject to conditions.
Example
a condition that a weapon or article possessed under the permit may not be disposed of by the permit holder other than to someone else who holds a collector permit or by surrender to a police officer
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).
(4) The conditions may provide for the expiration of the collector permit, limit the authority it gives and impose requirements on the person to whom the permit is issued.
(5) The registrar may, for any reason the registrar considers sufficient, cancel a person’s collector permit by giving written notice to the person.
(6) A person to whom a permit was issued may surrender the permit for cancellation.
(7) The registrar must periodically, and at least every 5 years, review the collection permits in force under this section.
