159 Entry other than by consent or warrant
An inspector may enter a place without the consent of the occupier of the place or a warrant if—
it is a public place and the entry is made when the place is open to the public; or
it is a place of business mentioned in an exhibited animal authority and is—
open for carrying on the business; or
otherwise open for entry; or
required to be open for inspection under a condition of the authority; or
the entry is made to carry out an official assessment (follow-up) at the place at a reasonable time and on reasonable written or oral notice of at least 48 hours; or
the entry is authorised under section 160, 161 or 162.
However, a power to enter a place under this subdivision does not include entry to a part of the place where a person resides without the person’s consent or a warrant.
