National Radioactive Waste Management Act 2012

The Minister may, in his or her absolute discretion, revoke in writing a declaration made under subsection 14(2) or (4).

A revocation takes effect at the time specified in the revocation, which must not be earlier than the time the revocation is made.

To avoid doubt, if a declaration made under subsection 14(2) or (4) is revoked:

the revocation does not affect the operation of section 19 in relation to the land that was the subject of the revoked declaration; and

on and from the revocation, Part 5 does not apply to that land.

Section 18 does not apply to a revocation under this section.

A copy of a revocation must be published in the Gazette within 7 days of the revocation.

Failure to comply with subsection (5) does not invalidate a revocation.

Subsection 33(3) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 does not apply to a revocation.
