Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) Any authorised
officer may order that any house or part of a house, or any furniture, goods,
or things therein shall be cleansed to the satisfaction of an authorised
officer, and the occupier shall forthwith comply with such order.
(2) In case default is
made in compliance with such order, the local government may take such steps
as in the opinion of an authorised officer are necessary to carry out the
terms of the order, and may recover the cost and expenses of so doing from the
person guilty of the default by action in any court of competent jurisdiction;
but nothing in this section shall be deemed to relieve such person from any
penalty to which he has rendered himself liable by his default.
(3) In this section
the word occupier includes the owner of any premises which are in fact
unoccupied.
