Power to enter places
111 Power to enter places
An inspector may enter a place if—
its occupier consents to the entry; or
it is a public place and the entry is made when the place is open to the public; or
the entry is authorised by a warrant.
Also, an inspector may enter a place if—
a possession licensee, under a possession licence, possesses a radiation source for a radiation practice; and
the inspector reasonably believes the source is at the place for carrying out the practice; and
the place is—
open for carrying on business; or
otherwise open for entry.
For entering a place within premises under subsection (2), an inspector may enter any other part of the premises to an extent that is reasonable for entry to the place.
However, an inspector may not enter a place under subsection (2) or (3) if—
a person is undergoing a procedure conducted by a health practitioner, or consulting a health practitioner, at the place; or
the place is a place where a person resides.
For the purpose of asking the occupier of a place for consent to enter, an inspector may, without the occupier’s consent or a warrant—
enter land around premises at the place to an extent that is reasonable to contact the occupier; or
enter part of the place the inspector reasonably considers members of the public ordinarily are allowed to enter when they wish to contact the occupier.
