Environmental Protection Act 1994

If a person who enters land under an entry order damages the land or something on the land, the person must, as soon as practicable, give written notice of the damage to—

the owner of the land; and

if the owner is not the occupier of the land—the occupier; and

the administering authority.

However, if for any reason it is not practicable to comply with subsection (1), the person must—

leave the notice at the place where the damage happened; and

ensure it is left in a conspicuous position and in a reasonably secure way.

The notice must state—

particulars of the damage; and

that the person who suffered the damage may claim compensation under section 579 from the person who obtained the entry order.
