130.(1) When an application is made, the SMA may renew the licence by issuing
to the applicant a new apparatus licence.

(2) The conditions of the new apparatus licence need not be the same as those
of the licence that it replaces.

(3) In deciding whether to renew the licence, the SMA must have regard to the
same matters as the matters to which it must have regard under subsection 
100(4) in deciding whether to issue such a licence.

(4) The new licence comes into force immediately after the expiration of the
licence that it replaces.

(5) If the SMA:

   (a)  refuses to renew the licence; or

   (b)  renews the licence but not on the same conditions; the SMA must give
        the licensee a written notice stating that fact, together with a
        statement of its reasons. Note: Refusals to renew apparatus licences,
        and changes to licence conditions on renewal, are reviewable under
        Part 5.6.
