A planned closure under section 47, 48, 49, or 50 must be publicly notified at least 24 hours before the closure commences.

A reactive closure under section 51 may be publicly notified.

A closure decision referred to in this section is neither a legislative instrument nor a disallowable instrument for the purposes of the Legislation Act 2012 (and does not have to be presented to the House of Representatives under section 41 of that Act).

The Commissioner may close all, or part, of a public place for all or any part of a day or days during the leaders’ event period if the Commissioner reasonably believes the closure is required to prevent a risk to security at, or near, a leaders’ event or near a protected person.
