Corrections Act 2004

Corrections system - Establishment and operation of community work centres

30: Establishment of community work centres

You could also call this:

"The government can create community work centres by announcing it in a special newspaper."

The Minister can decide that a piece of land or a building is a community work centre by putting a notice in the Gazette. You can think of the Gazette like a special newspaper that the government uses to tell people about important decisions. The Minister can also decide to add or remove land or buildings from a community work centre in the same way. The Minister's decision takes effect from the date stated in the notice. This is similar to what was decided in the 1985 legislation.
