Offshore Electricity Infrastructure Act 2021

This section applies if an OEI inspector issues a prohibition notice to a licence holder under section 207 that concerns a threat mentioned in paragraph 207(2)(a) in relation to an activity at particular offshore premises.

As soon as practicable after issuing the notice, the OEI inspector must take reasonable steps to give a copy of the notice to the following persons:

if the premises are a vessel under the command or charge of a master—the master;

if the premises are, or the plant, substance or thing is, owned by a person other than the licence holder—that owner.

The licence holder must cause a copy of the notice to be displayed in a prominent place at the premises.

If an OEI inspector is satisfied that action taken by the licence holder to remove the threat is not adequate, the OEI inspector must inform the licence holder accordingly.

In making a decision under subsection (4), an OEI inspector may exercise such of the powers of an OEI inspector conducting an inspection in the exercise of the OEI inspector’s powers under Part 2 or 3 of the Regulatory Powers Act, as it applies under Division 3 of this Part, as the OEI inspector considers necessary for the purposes of making the decision.

The notice ceases to have effect in relation to a licence holder when an OEI inspector notifies the licence holder that the OEI inspector is satisfied that the licence holder, or another person, has taken adequate action to remove the threat.

In this section:

a particular part of the offshore premises; and

particular plant or equipment, or a particular substance or thing, at the offshore premises.
