Victorian Current Acts Victorian Current Acts(1) Immediately on entering a place, vehicle, vessel or aircraft under this Division, an authorised officer must take all reasonable steps to notify the occupier or apparent occupier of the place, or the driver or person in charge of the vehicle, vessel or aircraft, of the entry and produce the authorised officer's identity card for inspection by that person.
(2) If the occupier, apparent occupier, driver or person in charge is not present when an authorised officer exercises a power of entry under this Division, the authorised officer must, on leaving the place, vehicle, vessel or aircraft, leave a notice setting out—
(a) the time of entry; and
(b) the purpose of entry; and
(c) a description of all things done while at the place or in the vehicle, vessel or aircraft; and
(d) the time of departure; and
(e) the authorised officer's name and contact details.
(3) An authorised officer is not required to comply with subsection (1) or (2) if—
(a) in the case of subsection (2), the authorised officer reasonably believes that the place is open to the public and that it would be impracticable to leave a notice at the place; or
(b) in either case—
(i) to comply with the subsection would unreasonably interfere with performing a function or exercising a power under this Act, the regulations or an Order or notice under this Act or cause unreasonable delay; or
(ii) the occupier or apparent occupier of the place or the owner or person in charge of the vehicle, vessel or aircraft has been notified in advance of the entry.
