Section 85

When any notice or order under this Act requires any act to be done or work to be executed by the owner or occupier or the person in charge of any premises and default is made in complying with the requirements of the notice or order, the person in default shall, where no fine is specially provided for the default, be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $5,000.

When the notice or order requires any act to be done or work to be executed for which no time is fixed by this Act, it must fix a reasonable time for complying with the requirements.

Where any person who has been served with any notice or order fails to comply therewith, the Director‑General may, without affecting any proceedings under subsection (1), at the expiry of the period specified in the notice or order execute the works as are specified in the notice or order and may recover from that person the expenses reasonably incurred in so doing in the manner provided in section 89.

Nothing in this section is deemed to prohibit the Director‑General from carrying out any works specified in the notice or order at the request of a person who has been served with the notice or order upon an undertaking by that person to pay the costs and expenses in executing the works.
