10. Notice of protected area order
Feedback & supportThe Minister must cause notice of a protected area order to be given, in the manner that the Minister considers appropriate in the circumstances —
protected area order
“protected area order” means an order made under section 8 declaring any premises to be a protected area, and includes the order as amended under section 11;
to the authority of the protected area; and
to any other person who, in the Minister’s opinion, ought to have notice of the protected area order.
The Minister may, in addition to or in place of the notice of the protected area order required under subsection (1), cause the protected area order to be published in the Gazette.
Where the Minister causes the protected area order to be published in the Gazette in place of the notice of the protected area order required under subsection (1), the requirements of that subsection are taken to be satisfied.
To avoid doubt, the non-publication of a protected area order in the Gazette does not affect the validity of the protected area order.
