Illustration for Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

The Director-General can change or cancel a compliance order. You need to know that a compliance order is a rule you must follow. The Director-General can make changes or cancel it if they get new information about the order. The Director-General can only make changes or cancel the order during the appeal period if they get new information. You can appeal against a compliance order, which means you can ask for it to be changed or cancelled. The appeal period is the time when you can appeal against the order. The appeal period also includes the time when your appeal is being considered. This means the Director-General must wait until your appeal is finished before they can make changes or cancel the order, unless they get new information. The Director-General has the power to make decisions about compliance orders.
