Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016

Where it appears to the Minister that there is reasonable evidence that a threatened species or threatened ecological community is present on land, the Minister may give each owner and each occupier of the land a written notice that —

specifies the threatened species or threatened ecological community; and

contains information to assist the owner or occupier in the identification of the threatened species or threatened ecological community; and

specifies the part of the land on which the threatened species or threatened ecological community is believed to be present; and

specifies the assistance that may be available to the owner or occupier for the protection of the threatened species or threatened ecological community; and

informs the owner or occupier about the effect of section 53 and the right to apply for an exemption from that section under section 271.

A notice under subsection (1) remains in force until it is cancelled under subsection (3).

The Minister may at any time by written notice given to each owner and each occupier of the land amend or cancel a notice under subsection (1).
