Forestry Act 1959

This section applies if a person is camping in a part of a State forest, timber reserve or licence area (the camp site) and a forest officer reasonably believes—

the same, or predominantly the same, camping equipment has been at the camp site for 30 days or more; and

any of the following apply—

it is necessary or desirable to allow the camp site to be used by another person who is authorised to camp at the camp site;

the natural condition of the camp site has been, or is being, degraded by the presence of the camping equipment;

it is necessary for the person to leave the camp site to protect the health or safety of a person; and

another part of the State forest, timber reserve or licence area is available for the person to use for camping.

The officer may direct the person in writing—

to leave the camp site; and

to remove all of the person’s property from the camp site; and

not to return to the camp site for a stated period.

A person given a direction under this section must, unless the person has a reasonable excuse, comply with the direction—

immediately after the direction is given; or

if the direction includes a time within which the person must comply, within that time.
