Inspector‑General may issue public warning notice
167A Inspector‑General may issue public warning notice
The Inspector‑General may issue to the public a written notice containing a warning about the conduct of a person if:
the Inspector‑General reasonably suspects that the conduct may constitute a contravention of:
section 34, 35, 58 or 59; or
a provision of Division 3A of Part 2; and
the Inspector‑General is satisfied that one or more of the following has occurred, is occurring or is likely to occur, as a result of the conduct:
injury or damage to human beings;
damage to property;
harm to, or loss of, Basin water resources; and
the Inspector‑General is satisfied that it is in the public interest to issue the notice.
The power conferred by this subsection may be delegated only to an SES employee or an acting SES employee (see subsection 215W(3)).
No civil proceeding lies against the Inspector‑General for loss, damage or injury of any kind suffered by another person as a result of the issue, in good faith, of a notice under this subsection (see section 215X).
A notice issued under subsection (1) is not a legislative instrument.
In this section:
conduct includes an act or omission.
