Towing Services Act 2024

In this section —

an electronic database or document system; and

any other means by which a document can be accessed electronically.

The regulations may make provision for or in relation to the following —

the giving of a document required or permitted to be given under this Act (including the giving of the document by electronic means);

the time at which the document is taken to have been given;

the means of satisfying a requirement under this Act in relation to a document in writing (for example, a requirement that the original of a document be given or that a document be signed) if the document is given by electronic means.

Regulations under subsection (2) cannot provide for a document to which section 108 applies to be served by a means that is inconsistent with that section.

A document required to be given by the CEO to an authorised towing service provider is taken to have been given to the provider if it is given to a responsible officer of the provider in accordance with regulations made under subsection (2).

This section applies to a requirement or permission to give a document whether the term “give”, “issue”, “send” or “serve”, or any other similar term, is used.
