Major Events Act 2014

The Minister may give notice for a major event that this part applies to the event.

The Minister may only give notice in relation to a major event if the Minister—

consults with the event organiser for the major event; and

considers any submissions made by the event organiser about the need for this part to apply to the major event; and

considers the likely demand by the public for tickets to the event; and

considers the availability to the public of tickets to the event; and

is satisfied on reasonable grounds it is necessary and appropriate to do so.

A notice is a notifiable instrument.

The Minister must give additional public notice of the notice under subsection (3).

Note Public notice means notice on an ACT government website or in a daily newspaper circulating in the ACT (see Legislation Act, dict, pt 1). The requirement in s (4) is in addition to the requirement for notification on the legislation register as a notifiable instrument.

Failure to publish a notice in accordance with subsection (4) does not affect the validity of the notice.
