Smoke-Free Public Places Act 2003

For this Act, an inspector may—

at any reasonable time, enter premises that the public is entitled to use or that are open to the public (whether or not on payment); and

at any time, enter premises with the occupier’s consent.

However, subsection (1) (a) does not authorise entry into a part of premises that is being used only for residential purposes.

An inspector may, without the consent of the occupier of premises, enter land around the premises to ask for consent to enter the premises.

To remove any doubt, an inspector may enter premises under subsection (1) without payment of an entry fee or other charge.
