33A—Appointment of authorised officers

        (1)         The Minister may appoint an officer or employee of the Crown or a local council to be an authorised officer for the purposes of this Act.

        (2)         An appointment of an authorised officer—

            (a)         must be in writing; and

            (c)         may be subject to conditions; and

            (d)         may be in respect of the whole State or any specified part of the State.

        (3)         Each authorised officer must be issued with an identity card that—

            (a)         includes a photograph of the authorised officer.

        (4)         The identity card must be issued as soon as is reasonably practicable after the appointment is made (but an authorised officer is not prevented from exercising powers under this Act just because an identity card is yet to be issued).

        (5)         An authorised officer must, if requested to do so, produce evidence of his or her appointment by providing a copy of his or her notice of appointment, or by showing his or her identity card for inspection, before exercising the powers of an authorised officer under this Act in relation to any person.

        (6)         The Minister may, at any time, vary or revoke an appointment which he or she has made, or vary or revoke a condition of an appointment or impose a further condition in relation to an appointment.
