Land Act 1994

This section applies if—

a relevant person, or another person, enters adjacent land under this part, or with the consent of the occupier of the land, to carry out an authorised activity; and

a person (the interested person) reasonably believes the relevant person or other person has caused or contributed to damage to the land or something on the land; and

the interested person owns the land or thing.

The interested person may give the chief executive written notice of the damage.

The notice must include the following information—

details of the damage;

details of the entry during which the interested person believes the damage was caused or contributed to;

whether the interested person believes the land or thing can be returned to the condition it was in before the damage;

the remedial action the interested person considers—

if the interested person maintains the belief mentioned in paragraph (c)—reasonably necessary to return the land or thing to the condition it was in before the damage; or

otherwise—appropriate having regard to the consequences of the damage to use of the land or thing.

Within 30 days of receiving the notice, the chief executive must notify the interested person of whether the chief executive will enter into a remediation agreement under section 431ZH.
