Illustration for Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

If a declaration is made about a transition period, you need to know what it says. The declaration must include the time and date it is given, the areas it applies to, and follow the rules. It can also include other relevant information. When a declaration is made, the person making it must tell the public about it. They must publish it on a website that anyone can access and in the Gazette as soon as possible. This helps you know what is happening. The declaration can be about starting, extending, or ending a transition period. You can find the declaration on a website and in the Gazette to stay informed.
