Example 1: Clean zone and clean period

ThefinalgameoftheFootballWorldCupistobeheldattherugby stadiumlocatedinPhillipstowninChristchurchbetween3pmand 7 pm on Saturday, 9 June 2007.

The Police and the Christchurch City Council have decided, in the particular circumstances of this major event activity, that in ordertohostsafelythefinal game oftheFootball WorldCup, itis necessary to close Stevens Street, Talfourd Place, and Lismore Streettovehiclesfrom12.01amto11.59pmonSaturday,9June 2007. Falsgrove Street (between Lismore Street and Stevens Street) will also be closed for parts of that day.

After taking into account the matters set out in section 16(2) and looking at therequirementsofthe particular event, the Economic Development Minister decides to declare a clean zone and a clean period for the final game of the Football World Cup in accordance with section 16(1).

The Ministerdeclares the clean zone to be the area bordered by, and including, the footpaths on the north side of Stevens Street, the west side of Wilsons Road North (between Stevens Street and Lismore Street), the south side of Lismore Street (between Wilsons Road North and Falsgrove Street), and the west side of Falsgrove Street (between Lismore Street and Stevens Street).

The stadium and its surrounds, including the stadium car park, (all of which are within the area described above) are included in the clean zone. However, none of the private land or private buildingswithintheareadescribedaboveisincludedintheclean zone.

The Ministerdeclaresthecleanperiodforthiscleanzonetostart at 12.01 am on Saturday, 9 June 2007 and finish at 11.59 pm on Saturday, 9 June 2007.

Example 2: Clean transport routes and clean periods

In accordance with section 16(1), the Economic Development Minister also decides to declare 2 clean transport routes and a clean period for the final game of the Football World Cup.

State Highway 73 and the Christchurch Southern Motorway 73 are declared to be a clean transport route from the point on the Christchurch Southern Motorway that is 5 km in a straight line (in a south-westerly direction) from the corner of Falsgrove and Lismore Street, to the point on State Highway 73 that is 5 km in

Examples—continued

a straight line (in a south-easterly direction) from the corner of

Lismore Street and Wilsons Road North. All of State Highway 74A is within 5 km of the clean zone and therefore all of this highway is also declared to be a clean transport route.

Both clean transport routes are declared to include the areas directly proximate to the highways and motorway that do not consist of private land or private buildings.

It appears that very few people will be using the railway lines to the north of State Highway 73 to travel to or from the clean zone. Therefore, the Minister decides not to declare this railway line to be a clean transport route.

Notes

1 General

This is a reprint of the Major Events Management Act 2007. The reprint incorporates all the amendments to the Major Events Management Act 2007 as at 1 August 2008, as specified in the list of amendments at the end of these notes.

Relevant provisions of any amending enactments that have yet to come into force or that contain relevant transitional or savings provisions are also included, after the principal enactment, in chronological order.

2 Status of reprints

Under section 16D of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, reprints are presumed to correctly state, as at the dateofthereprint,thelawenactedbytheprincipalenactment and by the amendments to that enactment. This presumption applies even though editorial changes authorised by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 have been made in the reprint.

This presumption may be rebutted by producing the official volumes of statutes or statutory regulations in which the principal enactment and its amendments are contained.

3 How reprints are prepared

A number of editorial conventions are followed in the preparation of reprints. For example, the enacting words are not included in Acts, and provisions that are repealed or revoked are omitted.

For a detailed list of the editorial conventions, see http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/legislation/reprints.shtml or Part 8 of the Tables of Acts and Ordinances and Statutory Regulations, and Deemed Regulations in Force.

Changes made under section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989

Section17C oftheActsandRegulationsPublicationAct1989 authorises the making of editorial changes in a reprint as set out in sections 17D and 17E of that Act so that, to the extent permitted, the format and style of the reprinted enactment is consistent with current legislative drafting practice. Changes thatwould alter the effect of the legislation are not permitted.
