Change of directors or partners

 
Any proposed changes to the members of a partnership or directors of a company must be provided to the Commissioner for Consumer Protection (the Commissioner) for consideration under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act 1973 and the Motor Vehicle Repairers Act 2003.
 
This form should not be used if you are changing the licensee. Please contact the Licensing Advice Line immediately on 1300 304 064 should you wish to change the entity that holds the licence. 
 
If the licensee is a partnership of two or more individuals and you intend to remove partners that will result in the holder becoming a sole trader, you will not be entitled to renew the current licence, unless additional partner/s are added prior to the next date of renewal.
