Bushfires Management Act 2016

A person who causes damage in the course of exercising in good faith a power conferred on the person by this Act, or carrying out work or doing any other act in good faith on land that the person is authorised to carry out or do under this Act, is not civilly or criminally liable in respect of that damage.

Damage occurring to property, through the exercise of a power mentioned in section 47 by a person authorised to exercise the power, must, for any insurance policy against fire that covers the property, be taken to be damage arising out of a bushfire.

A provision, stipulation, covenant or condition in any agreement (whether made before or after the commencement of this section) that negatives, limits or modifies, or purports to negative, limit or modify, the operation of subsection (2) is void and of no effect.
