5A Appeal against determination music festival requires agreed health and medical plan
(1) If the Secretary determines that a music festival requires an agreed health and medical plan, the music festival organiser may appeal against the determination to ILGA.
(2) An appeal may be lodged only on the ground that the music festival does not require an agreed health and medical plan because, in the music festival organiser’s view, sufficient controls have been put in place to mitigate and manage health risks at the music festival.
(3) An appeal must be started by lodging a notice (an appeal notice) with ILGA no later than the day specified in the regulations.
(4) The appeal notice must be lodged in the form and way approved by ILGA.
(5) In deciding an appeal, ILGA must, after having regard to the objects of this Act, decide that the music festival—
(a) requires an agreed health and medical plan and that the music festival organiser must provide a health and medical plan to the Health Secretary for agreement, or
(b) does not require an agreed health and medical plan and that the music festival organiser must prepare a health and medical plan for the music festival but does not require the Health Secretary’s agreement to the plan.
