Without affecting section 6, special notice of intention to organise an event (whether or not comprising or involving an assembly or a procession) must be given to the Commissioner in the prescribed manner, with the prescribed information, by any event organiser for the event if the event organiser reasonably expects more than a prescribed number of individuals to participate in or to attend the event at any time during the holding of the event.

before the proposed date of the event; or
in the case where the event is to take place during a proposed period, before the beginning of that proposed period.

The Commissioner may, and must in any case where the Commissioner is reasonably satisfied that earlier notice could not have been given, accept shorter notice than is as mentioned in subsection (2).

For the purposes of subsection (1), the Minister may prescribe different numbers of individuals for different classes of events.
(5)
An event organiser who fails to comply with subsection (1) or (2) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $20,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both.
