CHEMICAL WEAPONS (PROHIBITION) ACT 1994 - SECT 59
The things that are authorised by search warrant(1) A warrant that is in force in relation to premises authorises the national inspector executing the warrant and a person assisting:
(a) to enter the warrant premises and, if the premises are a conveyance, to enter the conveyance, whatever it is; and
(b) to search the premises for the kinds of evidential material specified in the warrant, and to seize things of that kind found at the premises; and
(c) to seize other things found at the premises in the course of the search that the national inspector or a person assisting believes on reasonable grounds to be:
(i) evidential material in relation to an offence to which the warrant relates; or
(ii) evidential material in relation to another offence against this Act;
if the national inspector or person assisting believes on reasonable grounds that seizure of the things are necessary to prevent their concealment, loss or destruction or their use in committing an offence.
(2) If the warrant states that it may be executed only during particular hours, the warrant must not be executed outside those hours.
(3) If things are seized under a warrant, the warrant authorises the national inspector executing the warrant to make the things available to officers of other agencies if it is necessary to do so for the purpose of investigating or prosecuting an offence under another law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory to which the things relate.
(4) A power referred to in this section or in section 57,
60, 61, 62 or 64 may only be exercised in a manner that the
national inspector believes, on reasonable grounds, to be in accordance with
safety procedures applicable at the premises.
