Clause 26

Where any person has contravened section 24 or 25 or any regulations made under this Act, the Board may serve a notice requiring that person to perform, within such period (not being less than 14 days after service thereof) as may be specified in the notice, reinstatement works as may be specified in the notice, failing which the Board may perform any necessary reinstatement works.

The costs and expenses incurred by the Board in exercise of the powers under subsection (1) shall constitute a debt due from the person to the Board and be recoverable as such.

The certificate of the Chief Executive stating the amount of the costs and expenses so incurred shall be conclusive evidence of that amount.

The Board shall not be liable to make good any damage caused to or any loss of goods or property as a result of the reinstatement works done under subsection (1).

Any person who, on being required by notice under this section to perform reinstatement works, wilfully refuses or without lawful excuse (the proof of which lies on him) neglects to perform the reinstatement works within the time specified in the notice shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or to both.
