Declaration of an event

8. Declaration of an event



(1) Within 14 days after the end of the period for giving the Minister a
submission on whether an event should be declared, the Minister must-





   (a)  declare the event for the purposes of this Act if he or she considers
        it appropriate to do so having regard to the event organiser's
        submission (if any); or

   (b)  decide not to declare the event for the purposes of this Act-

and notify the event organiser accordingly.

(2) If the Minister declares the event, the declaration must specify whether
it applies to-

   (a)  the holding of the event on a particular occasion only; or

   (b)  the holding of the event generally (regardless of when or how often
        the event is held) until the declaration is revoked.

(3) The Minister must ensure that a copy of the declaration is published in
the Government Gazette.

(4) The declaration applies to the holding of the event regardless of whether
the event organiser changes.

Notes 1. The event organiser may apply for review of a decision to declare the
event (see section 42). 2. Under section 12, an event organiser may seek to
have the event declared by giving the Minister a ticket scheme proposal for
the event. If the Minister makes the declaration, it is taken to have been
made under this section but the event organiser cannot apply for review of the
decision to declare the event.
