Common use of Closure Orders Clause in Contracts

Closure Orders. Event Organisers may need to seek a closure order from a Local Authority for an event on the grounds of public safety or charging for entry in order to temporarily exempt a specific area from access rights. Section 11 of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 (Power to exempt particular land from access rights), provides a mechanism for local authorities, whether on application from third parties or at their own initiative, to exempt a particular area of land from access rights for a particular purpose. The requirements for an event to need a ‘Section 11’ will be discussed at the pre-event site visit. Organisers should make this assessment in discussion with FCS. It may be appropriate for FCS to formally request that organisers apply for a Section 11 order. If this is the case, reasons will be given in writing by FCS within 2 weeks of the site visit, to explain why the existing event management plan cannot be covered by the Land Reform Act and good practice detailed in SNH’s Outdoor events in Scotland: guidance for organisers and land managers. This should be sent to the event organiser, FCS Forest Tourism Development Manager and xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx at Triathlon Scotland. If it is agreed that a closure order is required, the event organiser should contact the Local Authority access officer in the first instance. Contact details for Local Authority and National Park access officers can be found at www.outdooraccess- xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxx-xx-xxxxxxx.
