### sec.90 Immediate amendment or suspension of commercial activity agreements for safety or conservation
This section applies if the chief executive reasonably believes a commercial activity agreement should be amended or the authorisation under it suspended—
to secure the safety of a person or a person’s property; or
because of a fire or other natural disaster; or
to conserve or protect the cultural or natural resources of the recreation area to which the agreement applies.
The chief executive may, verbally or by signs, advise the other party to the agreement that—
the agreement is taken to be amended in the way the chief executive advises; or
the authorisation under the agreement 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 other party is advised of the amendment or suspension and continues until the chief executive advises that the chief executive is satisfied the reason for the amendment or suspension no longer exists.
The effect of the amendment does not depend on the amendment being noted on the agreement.
The chief executive must as soon as practicable put a notice on the department’s website advising when the amendment or suspension no longer applies.

at or near a usual access point to the recreation area; or
