This section applies if the chief executive reasonably believes it is necessary for a camping permit to be amended— to ensure the health or safety of a person or protect a person’s property; or to minimise risk to, or safeguard the health of, a person because of a fire or natural disaster; or to conserve or protect the cultural or natural resources of the protected area to which the permit applies; or because the area to which the permit applies is declared, after the grant of the permit, to be a restricted access area or an area closed to the public; or to otherwise ensure the orderly and proper management of the area. The chief executive may notify the holder of the camping permit of the following matters— that the chief executive requires the permit to be amended by the holder; the amendment the chief executive requires to be made to the permit; the day by which the amendment is required to be made; the reason for the amendment; that the permit may be cancelled if the amendment is not made by the day required. A notification under subsection (2) may be given in any way practicable in the circumstances, including, for example, by using the departmental system or sending a text message to a phone. If the holder of the camping permit does not amend the permit in the way required by the day notified to the holder, the chief executive may amend the permit in the way required or cancel the permit.
