Botanic Gardens and Parks Regulations 1999

Where a provision of these regulations states that an act or activity must not be done or carried on without permission, the reference to permission is to the permission of the Authority.

For the purposes of any such provision, the Authority may refuse permission or in the exercise of the power to grant permission may —

grant permission generally or for any specific instance; or

grant permission on and subject to such terms and conditions as it considers appropriate including terms and conditions as to —

the part of the designated land to which the permission applies;

the class or description of persons to whom the permission extends; or

the payment of any fee or charge whether before the act is done or the activity is commenced or otherwise.

The Authority may amend or revoke a permission that has been granted.

A permission must be in writing and must be obtained before the act is done or the activity is commenced.

Where a permission has been given to a person subject to any condition, the permission is to be taken, in any prosecution against that person, to have lapsed during any period when the condition was not observed or performed according to its tenor by that person.
