HERITAGE ACT 1977 - SECT 120I

120I Occupier of land may be required to permit owner to carry out work

(1) The Heritage Council may order the occupier of any land to permit the owner of a building, work or relic to carry out such work on the building, work or relic as is specified in the order (being work that is, in the owner's opinion, necessary to enable the requirements of an order given to the owner to be complied with).

(2) An occupier of land on whom such an order is served must, within 2 days after the order is served, permit the owner to carry out the work specified in the order.

(3) The owner of the building, work or relic is not guilty of an offence arising from his or her failure to comply with the requirements of an order given to the owner if, while an order under this section is in force, the occupier of the land refuses to permit the owner to carry out the work specified in the order. This subsection applies only if the owner of the building, work or relic satisfies the Court that the owner has, in good faith, tried to comply with the requirements concerned.
