Major Events Act 2009

If there is a dispute between the responsible authority for a major event and a government agency concerning the operation of any provision of this Act and the parties have after reasonable efforts been unable to resolve the dispute themselves, either party may request a review of the matter by the responsible Ministers (namely, the Minister responsible for the responsible authority and the Minister responsible for the government agency concerned).

If the same Minister is responsible for both the responsible authority and the government agency concerned, the review is to be by that Minister.

If the dispute is not resolved by the responsible Ministers or Minister, the dispute is to be referred to the Premier.

The responsible authority and the government agency concerned are to give effect to any decision of the responsible Ministers, Minister or the Premier in resolution of the dispute.

A reference in this section to the Minister responsible for a government agency is, in the case of a government agency that is a local council, a reference to the Minister administering the Local Government Act 1993.
