Recreation Areas Management Act 2006

In exercising a power under this Act in relation to a person, an authorised officer must—

produce the officer’s identity card for the person’s inspection before exercising the power; or

have the identity card displayed so it is clearly visible to the person when exercising the power.

However, if it is not practicable to comply with subsection (1), the officer must produce the identity card for the person’s inspection at the first reasonable opportunity.

For subsection (1), an authorised officer does not exercise a power in relation to a person only because the officer has entered a place as mentioned in section 150(1)(b) or (2).

This section does not apply to an authorised officer who is a police officer.

Subsection (4) does not limit or otherwise affect the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000, section 637.

In this section—

an identity card issued under section 145; or

an identity card, issued under another Act by a Minister or chief executive of a department, that identifies the person as an authorised officer under this Act.
