Explosives Act 2024

The

Minister may by notice in the Gazette declare any place to be a

Government magazine.

The

Regulator is responsible for the control and supervision of a

Government magazine.

The

Regulator or an authorised person may direct 1 or more of the following:

that explosives be deposited in a Government magazine to be stored—

for a period determined by the Regulator or authorised person (as the case requires); or

indefinitely if the Regulator so determines;

that explosives stored at the Government magazine be destroyed.

The prescribed fee for the storage, rent, destruction or other costs associated with explosives deposited in a Government magazine may—

be payable by the person depositing (or directed to deposit) the explosives; and

be recoverable from the person that deposited (or was directed to deposit) the explosives as a debt due to the Regulator; and

be set on a differential basis depending on the type or quantity of explosives, the length of time that they are in storage and the cost of their destruction.
