Civil Defence Emergency Management Act 2002

Civil defence emergency management planning and civil defence emergency management duties - Review and amendment of national civil defence emergency management plan

47: Minor changes to plan

You could also call this:

"The Governor-General can make small changes to the emergency plan if they won't affect people's rights much."

The Governor-General can make small changes to the national civil defence emergency management plan by Order in Council. You need to know that this can happen if the Minister recommends it and it does not affect people's rights or only has a small effect on their obligations. The Minister must be satisfied that the change will not affect people's rights or only have a minor effect on their obligations, and the change is made through an Order in Council, which is a type of secondary legislation, as explained in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. The Governor-General makes these changes on the recommendation of the Minister. An Order in Council is used to make these small changes to the plan.
