Power of entry
251 Power of entry
An authorised person may enter a place, other than a vehicle, if—
its occupier consents to the entry; or
it is a public place and the entry is made when it is open to the public; or
the entry is authorised by a warrant; or
it is a permit holder’s place of business and is—
open for carrying on the business; or
otherwise open for entry; or
required to be open for inspection under the permit.
For the purpose of asking the occupier of a place for consent to enter, an authorised person 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 authorised person reasonably considers members of the public ordinarily are allowed to enter when they wish to contact the occupier.
