Emergency Management Act 2005

As soon as a hazard management agency is satisfied that it is no longer necessary for the powers under Part 6 to be exercised in relation to an emergency situation it has declared to exist, the hazard management agency is to revoke the emergency situation declaration.

The revocation is to be made by declaration in writing and is to include the time when, and date on which, it is made.

The revocation declaration has effect on and from the time it is made, or such later time as is specified in the revocation declaration.

Despite any other written law, the revocation of an emergency situation declaration does not affect —

any penalty or punishment incurred, imposed, or liable to be incurred or imposed, before the revocation; or

any investigation or legal proceedings in respect of such a penalty or punishment.
