Marine Farming Planning Act 1995

A fisheries officer may apply to a justice for a warrant to enter and search land, premises or places.

A justice may issue a warrant if satisfied – that there are reasonable grounds for believing that there is on the land or on or in any premises or place any evidence of the commission of an offence under this Act; or that the issue of a warrant is reasonably required to ascertain if a person has not complied with this Act.

A warrant is to authorise a fisheries officer – to enter and search the land, premises or place specified in the warrant; and to do any acts authorised under this Division – with any assistance, and by any force, reasonably necessary; and on the date and during the hours or at any time the warrant specifies.

A warrant is to specify the date on which, and time at which, the warrant ceases to have effect.
