Crimes Act 1914

A variation of an authority by an appropriate authorising officer (whether formal or urgent) must:

identify the controlled operation to which the authority relates; and

state the name and rank or position of the person varying the authority; and

if the authority was varied on an application made under section 15GP, state:

the name of the applicant; and

whether the application was a formal variation application or an urgent variation application; and

state the date and time when the variation of authority is or was granted; and

describe the variation having regard to the matters referred to in subsection 15GO(2); and

if the variation extends the period of effect of a formal authority—state the period of the extension.

For the purposes of paragraph (1)(f), the period of the extension must not exceed:

in the case of a formal variation of authority—the period that would result in the period of effect of the authority exceeding 3 months (including any previous extensions); and

in the case of an urgent variation of authority—the lesser of:

7 days; and

a period that would result in the period of effect of the authority exceeding 3 months (including any previous extensions).
