50JAnnual assessment of designated neighbourhood safer places

50J Annual assessment of designated neighbourhood safer places (1) A municipal council must, by 31 August in each year, conduct a review of each designated neighbourhood safer place in its municipal district to determine if it is still suitable to be designated as a neighbourhood safer place. (2) In conducting an annual review, the municipal council must ask the Authority to assess each neighbourhood safer place in its municipal district in accordance with the Country Fire Authority Assessment Guidelines. (3) On receiving a request, the Authority must— (a) assess the place; and (b) if the place meets the criteria set out in the Country Fire Authority Assessment Guidelines, certify in writing that the place meets those criteria. (4) If the Authority's assessment determines that a designated neighbourhood safer place is no longer suitable, it must be decommissioned. (5) The municipal council may also decommission a designated neighbourhood safer place if— (a) the Authority has certified the place under this section but the council is satisfied on reasonable grounds that it is not appropriate for the place to continue to be a designated neighbourhood safer place; or (b) the place is on non-council land and the occupier or the person in control of the land has withdrawn consent to the designation of the place as a neighbourhood safer place.
