32. Amendment of conditions of safety permit

 

(1) The Regulator may, in justifiable circumstances, amend any condition imposed on a specific safety permit in terms of section 31(2).

 

(2) The Regulator must, prior to amending the conditions of a safety permit—
(a) in writing, inform the safety permit holder of its intention to do so and of the reasons for considering an amendment to the conditions;
(b) in writing, invite the safety permit holder and any relevant stakeholder to make submissions on the proposed amendment within a reasonable time; and
(c) consider such submissions as may have been received.

 

(3) The Regulator must, in writing, inform a safety permit holder of an amendment by the Regulator of a condition to his or her safety permit, specifying—
(a) the extent of the amendment; and
(b) the date upon which the amendment comes into operation, which must be at least 30 days after the safety permit holder has received this notification.

 

(4) If a safety permit holder is aggrieved by the amendment made in terms of subsection (3), that safety permit holder may lodge an appeal in accordance with Chapter 8.

 

(5) This section must not be interpreted so as to prevent a safety permit holder from applying for an amendment to the conditions of the relevant safety permit, including an amendment to provide for an extension or reduction in the types of railway or railway operations authorised by that safety permit.
