364: Notification

You could also call this:

"Telling someone something in writing, like sending a notice, must be done in a specific way."

When you need to give a notice about something, you must write it down. You can give it to the person directly, or send it to them by post, fax, or another way they are okay with. You can also send it electronically, like by email, if the person is okay with that. The notice must be sent to the person's last known address, fax number, or email.

If the notice is about something in sections like 44(1), 46(2), or 59(1), the date on the notice is important. The date on the notice is when it is considered given, unless the person can prove otherwise. This means you are assumed to have received the notice on the date it was sent, unless you can show that you did not get it then.

There are some exceptions to these rules, like when something is published in the Gazette, or when the public is being notified. These exceptions also include notifications to the Secretary under section 89(1), or when an infringement notice is issued under section 357. Another exception is when a public meeting is being notified under clause 2(4) of Schedule 3.
