Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) Upon any area of
land becoming a protected area the Registrar —
(a) may
cause the boundaries of the area to be delineated by the erection of suitable
notices or boundary marks;
(b) may
enclose or fence the area, or any part of the area, and may erect such other
structures as in the opinion of the Registrar are necessary to protect the
area or any object therein.
(2) A person who
destroys, damages, alters, moves or interferes with any notice, boundary mark,
fence or other structure erected pursuant to subsection (1) commits an
offence.
(3) The fact that a
notice, boundary mark or fence is not or was not at the relevant time erected
or in a reasonable state of repair is immaterial to the liability of any
person for an offence against this Act and the reasonableness of a belief as
to the existence or non-existence of an Aboriginal site.
