If, in order to—
construct, move or complete a portion of a dog fence, it is necessary to move or complete a fence on any land; or
make dog-proof a part of a dog fence situated on land, it is necessary that the fence be altered for that purpose, the board may, by notice given to the owner of the fence or the occupier of the land, require the owner to alter the fence or the occupier to construct, move or complete a fence (as the case may be), within the time and in accordance with the directions specified in the notice.

The board may charge the liable person for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the board in taking action as provided by subclause (2).
The amount payable to the board is a debt due to the board.
The board must not issue a notice under subclause (1) except after consultation with the owner of the fence or an occupier of the land (as the case may require).
