Emergency Management Act 2005

For the purposes of this Act the State is divided into such emergency management districts as the Minister, on the advice of the SEMC, may determine by order published in the Gazette.

So far as is practicable emergency management districts are to be established by reference to the boundaries of local government districts.

If an emergency management district is proposed to be established other than by reference to the boundaries of a local government district, the Minister is to notify each local government in whose district any part of the area proposed to be established is situated and allow a reasonable time for submissions on the proposal.

In making an order under subsection (1) the Minister is to have regard to any submissions of the local governments.
