Section 11

The Board may, if it thinks fit, at the request of the owner of a monument, undertake or contribute towards the cost of preserving, maintaining or managing the monument or to the making of additions thereto.

Any maintenance of or additions made to a monument pursuant to this section shall be subject to the approval of the Board and the competent authority under the Planning Act [Cap. 232], and upon such conditions as the authority may impose.

For the purposes of maintaining a monument the Board shall have the right of access by itself or its employees for the purpose of inspecting it and doing all acts and things necessary for its maintenance.

All expenses incurred by the Board in maintaining monuments shall be defrayed out of moneys provided by the Fund.

“Maintenance” includes the fencing and repairing of a monument and the doing of any act or thing which may be required for the purpose of repairing the monument or protecting it from decay or injury; and “maintain” shall be construed accordingly.
