Common Question
Is a Petrinex BA code enough to acquire or hold AER licences?

No. The archive separates the BA code step from the Directive 067 eligibility application.
The 2019 correspondence treated the BA code as an early setup item, while the AER eligibility application required separate supporting information and regulator review.

Engineering Insight
Do not build a licence-transfer or new-licence schedule on the BA code alone. Confirm the eligibility application, supporting schedules, system access, and regulator review timing before assuming the applicant can hold licences.
Current Guidance
Current Directive 067 requires a BA code before applying for eligibility, but a BA code holder cannot hold AER licences or approvals unless AER has determined the person is eligible.
