any part of the place; or
(b) examine, inspect, test, photograph or film
anything at the place; or
(c) copy a document at the place; or
(d) seize a
document at the place if the authorised person reasonably believes the

necessary to prevent the document— (i) being hidden, lost or destroyed; or
(ii) being used to commit, continue or repeat the offence; or
(e) take into
the place any persons, equipment and materials the authorised person
reasonably requires for exercising a power in relation to the place; or

authorised person reasonable help for the exercise of the powers mentioned in
paragraphs (a) to (e) .
(2) A person who is required by an authorised person
under subsection (1) (f) to give the authorised person reasonable help for the
exercise of a power must comply with the requirement, unless the person has a
reasonable excuse for not complying with it. Penalty— Maximum
penalty—20 penalty units.
(3) If the help is required to be given by—
(a) answering a question; or
(b) producing a document (other than an
authority or other document required to be kept by the person under this Act
or another Act);
it is a reasonable excuse for the person to fail to answer
the question, or produce the document, if complying with the requirement might
tend to incriminate the person.
(4) This section applies to an authorised
person who enters a place to get the occupier’s agreement only if the
agreement is given or the entry is otherwise authorised.
