Part 1: Public Protection Requirements Requirements: sections 5 to 11 Section 8: Requirements to co-ordinate and co-operate
This section imposes obligations on persons to co-ordinate and co-operate in complying with the relevant requirements of this Act, under different scenarios.
	Subsections (1) and (2) apply to situations where there is more than one responsible person for single qualifying premises or a qualifying event; which will be the case if there is more than one person who has control over the premises in connection with the relevant Schedule 1 use (e.g. where two parties jointly occupy the premises to deliver a service). In such cases, those persons must co-ordinate, so far as is reasonably practicable, in complying with the requirements imposed on them by this Act.
	Subsections (3) and (4) apply to situations where qualifying premises form part of other qualifying premises. In such cases, the responsible persons for each must co-ordinate, so far as is reasonably practicable to do so, to comply with the requirements of this Act. This situation would commonly be expected to arise at a shopping centre or entertainment complex, where the units in scope of the Act’s requirements would co-operate with the shopping centre operator or entertainment complex operator as required to deliver relevant procedures and measures. The individual units, where they meet qualifying premises criteria, will also have responsibility for their own requirements within their unit (but no additional requirements are imposed on them).
	Subsections (5) and (6) apply to situations where a person has some degree of control over enhanced duty premises or the premises for a qualifying event, but is not the responsible person. In such cases the person must co-operate with the responsible person, so far as is reasonably practicable to do so, to assist them in meeting their requirements. This situation might arise, for example, where a theatre operator holds the lease for a theatre building, and it is necessary to make modifications to the building structure and the building owner is required to provide their agreement to the modifications. For a qualifying event, this situation could arise where the event organiser is responsible for delivering an event in a field, however, they require the landowners’ agreement to put in place certain protective measures.
	References in section 8 to requirements do not include any requirements imposed under a penalty notice (see subsection (7)).
