The ATO is currently undertaking a clean up of unused ABN’s (Australian Business Number’s) and there are specific activities they are looking for to show that you are in fact running an active business; 
1.    Is your business still operating on a regular basis?
2.    Are all your business activity statements up to date/lodged?
3.    Are all your business and contact details correct?
4.    Do you have the correct registrations for your business ie: GST/ITW/PAYG

It is your responsibility to keep your ABN details up to date and if you no longer require your ABN it is a good idea to cancel it to avoid unnecessary lodgements.  It may even be necessary to cancel your ABN and apply for a new one if your business structure has changed in any way.
