This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.
Emergency Management Bill (No 2)
Emergency response and recovery: states of emergency and transition periods - Declaring states of emergency - Exercise of powers in sections 113, 114, 117, and 119
112: When authorised persons may exercise certain powers in this subpart
"When can authorised people use special powers in an emergency area?"
If you are an authorised person, you can use certain powers given to you by sections 113, 114, 117, and 119 in a specific area. You can only use these powers in an area where you are allowed to declare a state of local emergency. This means you must be authorised for that particular area, district, or ward to exercise these powers.
