Power to enter places
33 Power to enter places
An authorised person may enter a place if—
an occupier of the place consents to the entry; or
it is a public place and the entry is made when it is open to the public; or
it is a place that contains a public potable water supply or equipment connected with a public potable water supply; or
the entry is authorised by a warrant.
For the purpose of asking an 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.
Subsection (1)(c) does not authorise the entry of any part of a place where a person resides.
