WASTE MANAGEMENT AND RESOURCE RECOVERY ACT 2016 (NO. 51 OF 2016) - SECT 70

    (1)     This section applies if the waste manager believes on reasonable grounds that a person is contravening this Act, a condition of a licence or a condition of registration as a waste transporter.

Note     A reference to an Act includes a reference to the statutory instruments made or in force under the Act, including any regulation (see Legislation Act

, s 104).

    (2)     The waste manager may direct the person to comply with this Act, or the condition by doing, or not doing, a thing (a compliance direction ).

Note     A decision under this section is a reviewable decision (see s 119).

    (3)     A compliance direction may require the person to carry out remedial action if the waste manager considers the action is necessary to restore land that is damaged because of the person's contravention.

    (4)     A compliance direction must be in writing and state—

        (a)     the thing required to be done, or not done; and

        (b)     the period for compliance with the direction.

Note     The power to make a direction includes the power to amend or repeal the direction. The power to amend or repeal the direction is exercisable in the same way, and subject to the same conditions, as the power to make the direction (see Legislation Act

, s 46).
