#### 32 Landside security zones
(1) The Secretary may, by written notice given to the operator of a security controlled airport, establish one or more landside security zones within the landside area of the airport. Each zone must be of a type prescribed under section 33.
(2) The notice must include a map of the airport that shows the boundaries of the landside security zones.
(2A) A notice commences:
(a) when the Secretary gives the notice to the airport operator; or
(b) at the time specified in the notice.
The time specified in the notice must not be earlier than the time the notice is given.
(2B) Each landside security zone is in force from the commencement of the notice that establishes it.
(3) The purpose of landside security zones is to subject those zones, within the landside area of a security controlled airport, to stricter or more specialised controls than those applying generally to the landside area.
