280: Annual review of emergency response regulations

You could also call this:

"The Minister checks emergency response rules every year to see if they work well."

Illustration for Planning Bill

The Minister has to check how well the emergency response regulations are working. You will see this happen within 12 months of the regulations starting, and then every 12 months after that. The Minister must write a report on the review and give it to the House of Representatives. The Minister also has to make the results of the review public. This means you can find out what the Minister learned from the review. The Minister has to do this as soon as the report is finished. The review is about the regulations made under section 279. The Minister has to do these things while the regulations are in force. This is so the Minister can see if the regulations are effective.
