Rail Safety National Law (WA)

A non‑disturbance notice may require the person to —

preserve the site at which a notifiable occurrence has occurred for a specified period; or

prevent the disturbance of a particular site (including the operation of plant or rolling stock) in other circumstances for a specified period that is reasonable in the circumstances.

A non‑disturbance notice must specify the period (of no more than 7 days) for which it applies and set out —

the obligations of the person to whom the notice is issued; and

the measures to be taken to preserve a site or prevent disturbance of a site; and

information about the right to a review under Part 7 of the decision to serve the notice; and

the penalty for contravening the notice.

In subsection (1), a reference to a site includes any rail infrastructure, rolling stock, substance or other thing associated with the site.

A non‑disturbance notice does not prevent any action —

to assist an injured person; or

to remove a deceased person; or

that is essential to make the site safe or prevent a further incident; or

that is associated with a police investigation; or

in respect of which a rail safety officer has given permission.
