Emergency Management Act 2005

The State Emergency Coordinator may, in writing, by declaration extend, or from time to time further extend, the duration of an emergency situation declaration.

The declaration may limit the powers that may be exercised during the period by which the duration is extended.

A declaration extending, or further extending, the duration of an emergency situation declaration —

is to include the time when, and date on which, the declaration is made; and

is to state the period by which the duration of the emergency situation declaration is extended; and

remains in force until the end of the period stated under paragraph (b) unless the emergency situation declaration is sooner revoked under section 53.

The period by which the duration of an emergency situation declaration is extended —

unless paragraph (b) applies, must not exceed 7 days; or

if the only powers that may be exercised during the period are any or all of the powers under section 69 in relation to a place or the powers under section 72, may be for such period as the State Emergency Coordinator considers necessary.

A declaration extending the duration of an emergency situation declaration has effect on and from the time it is made.
