### sec.30 Immediate amendment or suspension for safety or conservation
This section applies if—
the chief executive reasonably believes a permission should be amended or suspended—
to secure the safety of a person or a person’s property; or
because of a cyclone or other natural disaster; or
to conserve or protect the natural or cultural resources in the marine park to which it applies; or
the area to which a permission applies is declared, after the grant of the permission, to be a restricted access area.
The chief executive must, in writing, or verbally if practicable, or by signs, advise the holder of the permission that, until the chief executive otherwise decides—
the permission is amended in the way the chief executive advises; or
the permission is suspended to the extent the chief executive advises.
If the chief executive acts under subsection (2) , the amendment or suspension takes effect immediately after the holder is advised of the amendment or suspension and continues until the chief executive decides the reason for the amendment or suspension no longer exists.
The effect of an amendment under this section does not depend on the amendment being noted on the permission.
The chief executive must as soon as practicable after the amendment or suspension ends—
in writing, or verbally if practicable, or by signs, advise the holder of the permission that the amendment or suspension no longer applies; and
put a notice on the department’s website advising that the amendment or suspension no longer applies.
