Powers under other written laws do not affect whether declarations can be made
94A Powers under other written laws do not affect whether declarations can be made
The existence of powers under any other written law that could be exercised in relation to an emergency does not affect —
whether an emergency situation declaration may be made under section 50; or
whether a state of emergency declaration may be made under section 56.
Without limiting subsection (1) —
in determining for the purposes of section 50(2)(b) whether there is a need to exercise powers under Part 6, the State Emergency Coordinator or hazard management agency (as the case requires) is not required to consider powers under any other written law; and
in determining for the purposes of section 56(2)(c) whether extraordinary measures are required, the Minister is not required to consider powers under any other written law.
