Land must be restored to pre‑works condition
22 Land must be restored to pre‑works condition
In this section —
pre‑works condition, in relation to land, means the condition the land was in immediately before works or activities were carried out on the land under a temporary works approval.
A major event organiser who carries out works or activities under a temporary works approval must restore the land to a condition that is reasonably comparable to its pre‑works condition by the end of the period in which the approval has effect.
If a major event organiser fails to comply with subsection (2), the owner of the land may —
carry out any works reasonably necessary to restore the land to a condition that is reasonably comparable to its pre‑works condition; and
recover the costs of those works from the major event organiser as a debt in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Subsections (2) and (3) are subject to any written agreement between the major event organiser and the owner of the land relating to the works or activities and the restoration of the land concerned.
