Local Government Act 2020

Subject to sections 193 and 194, any document required to be served on or given to a person (other than a Council) under this Act, the regulations or any local law may be served on or given to the person by—

delivering the document to the person; or

leaving the document at the person's usual or last known place of residence or business with a person apparently not less than 16 years of age and apparently residing or employed at that place; or

sending the document by post addressed to the person at the person's last known place of residence or business.

If a document is required to be served on or given to the owner or occupier of any land and their name is not known, the document may be addressed to "the owner" or "the occupier".

The document may be put up on a conspicuous position on the land if the name and address of the owner are not known and there is no occupier of the land.

If a document required to be served on or given to an owner or occupier of any land by a Council is properly served on or given to the owner or occupier of the land, the document is binding on every subsequent owner or occupier of the land.
