The Commissioner for Disaster Recovery can get money from you in advance. This is called an advance, and you can also promise to pay back an advance, which is called a guarantee of an advance. You can find more information about this in the Local Government Act 2002, but this part of the law was repealed on 1 July 2003.

This means that from 1 July 2003, the Commissioner for Disaster Recovery can no longer get advances or guarantees of advances from you under this law. The law that repealed this part is the Local Government Act 2002. It changed the rules about how the Commissioner for Disaster Recovery can get money.
