Orders to remedy failure to maintain or repair
120 Orders to remedy failure to maintain or repair
If the Heritage Council is satisfied that a building, work or relic listed or within a precinct listed on the State Heritage Register is not being maintained and repaired to standards that are at least the minimum standards imposed by the regulations, the Heritage Council may give the owner of the building, work or relic an order to do or refrain from doing such things as are specified in the order so as to ensure that the building, work or relic is maintained and repaired to those standards.
Before such an order is given, the procedures set out in this Division must be complied with. Compliance with those procedures is taken to be compliance with the rules of natural justice (the rules of procedural fairness).
An order can be given under this Division whether or not the owner of the building, work or relic has been prosecuted for or convicted of an offence in respect of the failure to maintain or repair concerned.
