34.—(1) If the Minister is of the opinion that it is necessary or expedient to do so in the interest of public safety or security, or in the national interest, the Minister may —(a) by a written instrument, designate any new development to be a special development; or (b) by order in the Gazette, designate any class of new developments to be special developments. (2) In the case of a special development designated under subsection (1)(a), the Minister must give a copy of the written instrument to the responsible person of the special development. (3) Before designating a special development under subsection (1)(a), the Minister must, unless the Minister considers it not practicable or desirable to do so in any particular case —(a) give notice of the Minister’s intention to do so to the intended responsible person; and (b) give the intended responsible person 14 days (or any longer or shorter time that the Minister may specify in the notice) after the date of the notice to make representations on the proposed designation. (4) The Minister may, at any time, cancel the designation of a special development —(a) in the case of a designation under subsection (1)(a), by written notice to the responsible person of the special development; and (b) in the case of a designation under subsection (1)(b), by written notice to the responsible person of the special development or by order in the Gazette. (5) On the cancellation of the designation of a special development, any approved security plan for the special development is also cancelled. (6) To avoid doubt, except as provided in this section, the Minister is not required to give any person notice of, or consult any person on, the Minister’s intention to make a designation under subsection (1) or cancel a designation under subsection (4).
