The Commission, the State Bushfire Coordination Committee or a bushfire
management committee in whose bushfire management area the relevant council
area is wholly or partly located may, by written notice, require the council
to provide to the Commission, the State Bushfire Coordination Committee or the
bushfire management committee (within a period stated in the notice or at
stated intervals) any report or reports relating to the performance, exercise
or discharge of the functions, powers or responsibilities of the
fire prevention officer or officers (if any) for the council's area, as the
Commission, the State Bushfire Coordination Committee or the bushfire
management committee (as the case may be) thinks fit.
