199 Contents of non‑disturbance notice
A non‑disturbance notice may require the person to:
preserve the site at which a notifiable incident has occurred for a specified period; or
prevent the disturbance of a particular site (including the operation of plant) in other circumstances for a specified period that is reasonable in the circumstances.
A non‑disturbance notice must specify the period (of no more than 7 days) for which it applies and set out:
the obligations of the person to whom the notice is issued; and
the measures to be taken to preserve a site or prevent disturbance of a site; and
the penalty for contravening the notice.
In subsection (1) a reference to a site includes any plant, substance, structure or thing associated with the site.
A non‑disturbance notice does not prevent any action:
to assist an injured person; or
to remove a deceased person; or
that is essential to make the site safe or to prevent a further incident; or
that is associated with a police investigation; or
for which an inspector has given permission.
