Clause 28

The Director may authorise any person to construct any drain through, across or under any private property or to alter, repair or otherwise deal with such drain as the Director thinks fit.

Any authorisation given under subsection (1) may be subject to such conditions as the Director thinks fit.

The Director shall, before authorising any person to construct any drain under subsection (1), serve a notice on the owner and occupier of the premises describing the nature of the works to be carried out and stating that if no objections are received within 28 days from the date of service of the notice, the works will commence on the date specified in the notice.

A person served with a notice under subsection (3) shall submit his objections, if any, to the Director within the prescribed time and the Director may allow or disallow the objections or allow the objections in part.
