Provision of assistance
30 Provision of assistance
An authorised officer may require an owner or occupier of any premises, any person in or on any premises (other than a public place), or a person apparently in charge of any vehicle, plant, equipment or other thing, to provide any reasonable assistance and facilities that the authorised officer or a person assisting the authorised officer reasonably requires for the effective exercise of a power under this Act.
The requirement may be made in the form of a direction that is given orally to the person or by written notice served on the person.
A direction may, for example, require the person—
to confine or move any animal under the care, custody or control of the person; or
to provide any facilities, including yards and crushes, that the authorised officer requires to inspect, examine, test, treat or take samples from any biosecurity matter, carrier, potential carrier or other thing; or
to restrain an animal.
