12—Commissioner to keep assessment book

        (1)         The Commissioner must ensure that a record (the "assessment book ) is kept in which is entered—

            (a)         —

                  (i)         a brief description of each separate piece or section of land or aggregation of contiguous land that is subject to separate assessment for the emergency services levy under this Act; and

                  (ii)         the capital value for the time being determined or adopted by the Valuer-General of that land; and

            (b)         the name and address of the owner of the land; and

            (c)         the land use of the land; and

            (d)         such other information as may be prescribed by regulation.

        (2)         Notwithstanding subsection (1), where the Commissioner is satisfied that the inclusion in the assessment book of the name or address of any person would place at risk the personal safety of that person, a member of that person's family or any other person, the Commissioner may suppress the name or address from the assessment book.

        (3)         Where the Commissioner is satisfied that a person's address is suppressed from the roll under the Electoral Act 1985 , the Commissioner may—

            (a)         where the person's residential address is included in respect of land that the person owns but does not occupy—suppress the person's residential address from the assessment book;

            (b)         where the person's residential address is land described in the assessment book—suppress the person's name from the assessment book in relation to that land.

        (4)         The assessment book may—

            (a)         be kept in any form (whether in the form of a book or not) that allows for the accurate recording of information and easy access to that information;

            (b)         be kept in different parts at different places;

            (c)         where the Commissioner delegates the duty to keep the assessment book—be kept in different parts by different persons.

        (5)         The Commissioner may make any alteration to the assessment book that may be necessary to keep the book in a correct and up to date form.

        (6)         The Commissioner may require a council or any other person who has information that is necessary or useful for—

            (a)         the purpose of compiling the assessment book and keeping it in an up to date form; or

            (b)         any other purpose related to the administration of this Act,

to provide that information to the Commissioner (or to any other person nominated by the Commissioner) in the form specified by the Commissioner.
