Owners and occupiers of land to provide information
76 Owners and occupiers of land to provide information
The Trust may, by notice served on—
the owner of an irrigated property or any other person who owns land in the Scheme Area; or
an occupier of an irrigated property or any other land in the
Scheme Area, request the person on whom the notice is served to provide the Trust with information specified in the notice that the Trust reasonably requires for the purpose of performing its functions or exercising its powers under this
Act.
A person is only obliged to provide information under subsection (1) that is in his or her possession or under his or her control.
A person who fails to comply with a request under subsection (1) is guilty of an offence. Maximum penalty: $2 500.
A person is not excused from providing information when required to do so under this section on the ground that the information might tend to incriminate the person or make the person liable to a penalty.
However, if the person objects to providing the information on that ground, the information is not admissible against the person in any criminal proceedings other than proceedings for an offence with respect to false or misleading information.
