Heritage Act 1977

An order is given by serving a copy of the order on the person to whom it is addressed. The order takes effect from the time of service or a later time specified in the order.

If a building, work or relic is owned by more than one person—

an order in respect of the building, work or relic is not invalid merely because it was not given to all of the owners, and

any of the owners may comply with such an order without affecting the liability of the other owners to pay for or contribute towards the cost of complying with the order.

This Division does not affect the right of an owner to recover from any other person all or any of the expenses incurred by the owner in complying with an order under this Division.

This Division does not entitle a person to recover from the Heritage Council any of the expenses incurred by the owner in complying with an order under this Division.
