The deposit is placed in a separate interest-bearing account and the interest accrues to the applicant. The deposit may be used by the Board to cover costs related to hearings, investigations, or enquiries. If the balance nears zero, the applicant may be asked to provide a further deposit. The applicant can request a statement of deposits, payments, and balance within 14 days.
