132 Power to require production of document or certification of copy
An inspector may require a person to make available for inspection by an inspector, or to produce to the inspector for inspection, at a reasonable time and place nominated by the inspector—
a document—
granted or issued to, or required to be kept by, the person under this Act; or
a copy of which is required to be given to the council under this Act; or
if a document mentioned in paragraph (a), or information required to be kept by the person under this Act, is kept, stored or recorded electronically—a document that is a clear written reproduction of the document or information that is kept, stored or recorded electronically.
The inspector may copy the document or an entry in the document.
If the inspector copies the document, or an entry in the document, the inspector may require the person responsible for keeping the document to certify the copy as a true copy of the document or entry.
The inspector must not keep the document after copying the document or an entry in the document.
However, if a requirement is made of a person under subsection (3), the inspector may keep the document until the person complies with the requirement.
