10. Major sporting event order-event areas



(1) In the case of a major sporting event order which specifies an area of
land to be an event area, the Minister must be of the opinion that the land
is-

   (a)  adjacent to an event venue; or





   (b)  required for the establishment or management of an event venue for a
        major sporting event; or

   (c)  required for the establishment, conduct or management of a major
        sporting event; or

   (d)  required for purposes ancillary to, or in connection with, the conduct
        or management of the major sporting event or any activity forming part
        of the event.

(2) If a major sporting event order specifies an area of land to be an event
area, the event organiser for the major sporting event, the venue manager of
the event venue or the manager of an event area for that event, as the case
requires-

   (a)  must identify the event area by causing signs or notices to be erected
        on or in close proximity to the area stating that the area is an event
        area; and

   (b)  may-

   (i)  demarcate an event area by the use of fencing, barriers or other
        permanent or temporary means of physical demarcation; and

   (ii) erect signs or cause signs to be erected on or in close proximity to
        the area stating the restrictions or conditions (if any) which apply
        in relation to that event area.

(3) Subsection (2) does not limit the power of an event organiser, a venue
manager or a manager of an event area to delineate an event area by means in
addition to signs, notices, fencing or barriers.
