This note is not part of the order, but is intended to indicate its general effect.

This order, which comes into force on 1 April 2016, is made under the Major Events Management Act 2007 (the Act). It amends the Act’s Schedule, which contains permanently protected emblems and words. Use of those emblems and words that is not authorised, or covered by an exception is, under sections 28 to 31 of the Act, an offence for which the maximum penalty is a fine not exceeding $150,000. The Act also contains (in section 34) related prohibitions and authorising provisions for registration of bodies under names, or of emblems, the use of which would be an offence under section 28.

The amendments—

• replace Part 1 with updated emblems for the Olympic Games and the Commonwealth Games:

• add “Comité International Olympique” to the names in clause 1 of Part 2:

• replace and update Part 3.
