What the reprint includes

Endnotes, Compilation table, and Table of provisions that have not come into operation

1.Details about the original Act and legislation that has amended its text are shown in the Compilation table in endnote 1, at the back of the reprint. The table also shows any previous reprint.

2.Validation, transitional, savings, or other provisions identified in the Compilation table may be important. The table may refer to another endnote setting out the text of these provisions in full.

3.A table of provisions that have not come into operation, to be found in endnote 1a if it is needed, lists any provisions of the Act being reprinted that have not come into operation and any amendments that have not come into operation. The full text is set out in another endnote that is referred to in the table.

Notes amongst text (italicised and within square brackets)

1.If the reprint includes a section that was inserted, or has been amended, since the Act being reprinted was passed, editorial notes at the foot of the section give some history of how the section came to be as it is. If the section replaced an earlier section, no history of the earlier section is given (the full history of the Act is in the Compilation table).

Notes of this kind may also be at the foot of Schedules or headings.

2.The other kind of editorial note shows something has been —

removed (because it was repealed or deleted from the law); or

omitted under the Reprints Act 1984 s. 7(4) (because, although still technically part of the text, it no longer has any effect).

The text of anything removed or omitted can be found in an earlier reprint (if there is one) or one of the written laws identified in the Compilation table.

Reprint numbering and date

1.The reprint number (in the footer of each page of the document) shows how many times the Act has been reprinted. For example, numbering a reprint as “Reprint 3” would mean that the reprint was the 3rd reprint since the Act was passed. Reprint numbering was implemented as from 1 January 2003.

2.The information in the reprint is current on the date shown as the date as at which the Act is reprinted. That date is not the date when the reprint was published by the State Law Publisher and it is probably not the date when the most recent amendment had effect.

(b)may, at the request of any person who suspects that any crops, trees, pastures, or other growth, or animal life on his land or land under his control has or have been injuriously affected by aerial spraying or spray drift, enter on that land for the purpose of ascertaining whether, and to what extent, the crops, trees, pastures, growth or animal life have been so affected;

(c)may enter and inspect any land in order to ascertain possible sources of spray drift; and

(d)may, where the person authorised by the Director under this section, is authorised as the owner of an aircraft or his accredited representative or as the insurer of the owner or his accredited representative, after notifying the owner or occupier of the land, enter and inspect the land on which aerial spraying has been or is proposed to be carried out or any adjoining or neighbouring land, before, during or after any aerial spraying operations by that aircraft, to determine the location of crops susceptible thereto, the possible sources of spray drift or any suspected damage that may have resulted from aerial spraying.

(2)Where a person authorised by the Director under subsection (1) enters on any land pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of that subsection that person shall make a written report to the Director of his findings in connection with the crops, trees, pastures or other growth or the animal life reported or suspected to have been injuriously affected by aerial spraying; and after making such other investigations as he considers necessary the Director shall make available to the owner of the aircraft concerned, the owner or occupier of such land and the insurer of the owner of the aircraft a statement as to whether in his opinion such growth or animal life has been seriously affected by aerial spraying.

(3)A person who prevents, hinders, delays or obstructs the entry on or inspection of any land by the Director or a person authorised by the Director pursuant to subsection (1) is guilty of an offence against this Act.

Penalty: $1 000.

(a)within 14 days of observing the damage; and

(b)at least 14 days or such lesser number of days as the Director in any particular case permits, before the crops are harvested or picked or before he destroys or causes to be destroyed the trees, pastures or other growth or animal life that he alleges have been so affected.

(5)Where the Director receives a notice under and in accordance with subsection (4), he shall, as soon as he ascertains the name of the owner of the aircraft from which the aerial spraying operations that are alleged to have caused damage, were carried out, give to that owner a copy of the notice.

(6)A person shall not, in a notice given pursuant to subsection (4), knowingly make any allegation that is false or misleading.

(2)Notwithstanding that a notice has not been given as required by section 14(4), application may be made to a Judge for leave to commence such an action as is referred to in subsection (1), and if the Judge considers that the failure to give the required notice was occasioned by mistake or by any other reasonable cause or that the prospective defendant is not materially prejudiced in his defence or otherwise by the failure, the Judge may if he thinks it is just to do so, grant leave to bring the action, subject to such conditions as the Judge thinks it is just to impose.

(3)Before an application is made under subsection (2) the person intending to make the application shall give notice in writing to the prospective defendant of the proposed application and the grounds on which it is to be made at least 14 days before the application is made.

17.Power of Director to delegate

(1)The Director may with the consent of the Minister, by writing under his hand, delegate any of his powers and functions under this Act, except the power of delegation, in relation to any matter or class of matters so that the delegated powers or functions may be exercised by the delegate with respect to the matter or class of matters specified in the instrument of delegation as fully and effectually as by the Director.

(2)A delegation under this section is revocable, in writing, at will and no such delegation prevents the exercise of any power or function by the Director.

(3)Where the exercise of any power or function of the Director under, or the operation of any provision of this Act, is dependent upon the opinion, belief or state of mind of the Director in relation to any matter, and that power or function has been delegated by the Director, in pursuance of this section, that power or function may be exercised or that provision may operate, upon the opinion, belief or state of mind of the delegate.

[Section 18 amended by No. 16 of 1978 s. 9; No. 20 of 1989 s. 3.]

19.Regulations

(1)The Governor may make regulations prescribing forms, fees and other matters and things that by this Act, are contemplated, required or permitted to be prescribed or appear to him to be necessary or convenient for the purpose of effectually carrying out the provisions of this Act, or for better giving effect to the operation, objects, and purposes of this Act and in particular, regulations may be made by the Governor under this section, making provision for or with respect to —
