Water Act 2000

An enforcement order or an interim enforcement order may direct the respondent—

to stop an activity that constitutes, or will constitute, an offence against this Act; or

not to start an activity that will constitute an offence against this Act; or

to do anything required to stop committing an offence against this Act; or

to return anything to a condition as close as practicable to the condition it was in immediately before an offence against this Act was committed; or

to do anything to comply with this Act.

Without limiting the court’s powers, the court may make an order requiring the demolition, removal or modification of works for taking or interfering with water or other resources.

An enforcement order or an interim enforcement order—

may be in terms the court considers appropriate to secure compliance with this Act; and

must state the time by which the order is to be complied with.
