8A Payment for work done in default
If a person fails to comply with a direction under regulation 8(1) (to maintain, repair, remove, move, dispose of, or handle material containing asbestos) in the manner, or within the time, specified in the direction, a local government may carry out, or make alternative arrangements to carry out, the work required to be done under that direction.
The expenses incurred by the local government in ensuring that the required work is carried out must be paid by the person whose failure to comply with a direction gave rise to the need for the local government to carry out, or make alternative arrangements to carry out, the work described in subregulation (1).
A person who fails to comply with the requirement to pay for expenses incurred by the local government under subregulation (2) commits an offence.
Penalty for this subregulation: a fine of $10 000.
