Applying to renew an exemption

What to include in your application for renewal

You can apply to renew your exemption from appointing a statutory supervisor. The Registrar will consider your application once you have supplied all information required to assist with that decision. We aim to complete our review within 20 working days.

Application for renewal checklist

To apply for a renewal of an exemption from the requirement for a statutory supervisor you must:

  • complete an application for exemption from requirement for statutory supervisor (Form RV5).
  • confirm that the conditions of the previous exemptions have been met.
  • confirm that the grounds on which the original exemption was granted haven't changed. If any of those reasons have changed, you should provide as much detail as possible.
  • confirm that no complaints or objections have been received by the operator from residents that would affect the application for exemption.

Registrar's decision

If all information is supplied with the application, we'll consider the application within 20 working days.

If additional information is required, or there are disputed issues or technical issues requiring external investigation or advice, it may not be possible for us to consider the application before these additional steps are completed.

Terms and conditions

The Registrar may make an exemption on the terms and conditions and for the period they think appropriate.

It is likely that exemptions will be granted for a specified number of years, but a further exemption may be sought where the applicant still qualifies for an exemption at that time.
