Supplementary Gazette
A Supplementary Gazette may be published by negotiation with the Manager or other nominated Gazette staff.
The publishing of a Supplementary Gazette will be sanctioned:
- when there is an urgent issue needing to be published, (for example, COVID-19 Emergency Response, a time sensitive matter or other Major Emergency Declaration); or
- when there is an extraordinarily large notice.
Due to the urgent situations these Gazettes are normally published under, the deadlines will be by negotiation.
A Supplementary Gazette is not intended to be used a fall back.
