(2) The parties also acknowledge and agree that the ability of the Bureau to provide the Services is subject to: (a) the Bureau’s available resources, operational limitations and any applicable policy considerations; and (b) the Emergency Services Agencies and relevant third parties discharging their responsibilities, and that the Bureau may need to vary the scope of, suspend or withdraw a Service if there are excessive demands on the Bureau’s services or resources, or if an Emergency Services Agency does not or cannot discharge its responsibilities. It is acknowledged that the Bureau will act reasonably in making such decisions, and will use reasonable endeavours to consult with any affected Emergency Services Agencies before varying the scope of, suspending or withdrawing a Service.
