Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) The local
government may, subject to the approval of the Chief Health Officer, deal with
any land held by it for the purpose of receiving, storing, disinfecting, or
distributing sewage, in such manner as it deems most profitable —
(a) by
leasing the same for a period not exceeding 25 years for agricultural
purposes; or
(b) by
contracting with some person to take the whole or a part of the produce of
such land; or
(c) by
farming such land and disposing of the produce thereof;
but in dealing with
such land, the local government shall see that provision is made for
effectually disposing of all the sewage brought to such land without creating
a nuisance or endangering the public health.
(2) When a local
government, with the approval of the Chief Health Officer, agrees with any
person as to the supply of sewage, or as to works to be made for the purpose
of such supply, the local government may contribute to the expense of carrying
into execution by such person all or any of the purposes of such agreement.
