Service where more than one owner or occupier
176 Service where more than one owner or occupier
If land is owned or occupied by 2 or more owners or occupiers, the owners or occupiers may, by writing to the Director General, nominate the address of one of them, or the address of their agent, as their address for service for the purposes of this Act.
If land is owned or occupied by 2 or more owners or occupiers —
if the owners or occupiers have nominated an address for service under subsection (1), service by the Director General of a document on them may be effected by serving it at that address; and
if no nomination is made under subsection (1), service by the Director General of a document on the owners or the occupiers may be effected by serving it on one owner or one occupier; and
when service is effected in accordance with paragraph (a) or (b), the document is to be taken to have been given to each owner or each occupier, as the case requires.
If an occupier of land, who is not the owner of the land, is given a document under this Act, the occupier must inform the owner of the fact as soon as practicable after being given the document.
Penalty: a fine of $2 000.
Non‑service on the owner does not affect the validity of service on the occupier, nor does non‑service on the occupier affect the validity of service on the owner.
