15A Issue of notices
If the Commissioner is of the opinion that:
any act or thing done or proposed to be done on or in relation to any land, or
the failure to do any act or thing on or in relation to any land,
has caused or is likely to cause soil erosion or land degradation on that land or on other land and that the erosion or degradation or its effects can be mitigated or avoided, the Commissioner may by notice served on the owner or occupier of, or on the holder or grantee of any timber rights over, the firstmentioned land require that owner, occupier, holder or grantee, within the time specified in the notice, to:
abstain from doing, or
do or permit to be done,
such acts and things as may be specified in the notice.
A notice under this section does not have any effect in respect of land while a notice under section 18 or 22 is in force in respect of that land.
Notices may, in relation to the same area of land, be served on one or more of the persons referred to in subsection (1).
A notice may be revoked, varied or amended by a like notice.
A notice under this section may be served on a person:
personally or by post, or
by email to an email address specified by the person for the service of notices of that kind, or
by any other method authorised by the regulations for the service of notices of that kind.
