Australia’s Foreign Relations (State and Territory Arrangements) Act 2020

This section applies if the Minister makes a declaration under subsection 46(2) or (3), 47(2) or 48(2) or (3) in relation to a subsidiary arrangement.

The declaration must specify the day the declaration comes into force.

The Minister may revoke the declaration if the Minister ceases to be satisfied of the matters on which the declaration was made.

However, the Minister may not revoke the declaration if it has already come into force.

The Minister must, as soon as practicable after making the declaration, take reasonable steps to give the parties to the subsidiary arrangement a written notice under this subsection that:

states the Minister’s decision to make the declaration; and

is accompanied by a copy of the declaration; and

complies with any requirements prescribed by the rules.

If, under subsection (3), the Minister revokes the declaration, then the Minister must, as soon as practicable, take reasonable steps to give the parties to the subsidiary arrangement a written notice that states that the declaration is revoked.
