49. (1) An inspector may apply to a magistrate for a warrant under this
section in relation to a particular searchable place.

(2) Subject to subsection (3), the magistrate may issue the warrant if the
magistrate is satisfied, by information on oath, that it is reasonably
necessary that the inspector should have access to the place for the purpose
of finding out whether the requirements of this Act (including the
requirements of any permit conditions or order under Part 3) are being
complied with.

(3) The magistrate must not issue the warrant unless the inspector or some
other person has given to the magistrate, either orally or by affidavit, such
further information (if any) as the magistrate requires concerning the grounds
on which the issue of the warrant is being sought.

(4) The warrant must:

   (a)  authorise an inspector (whether or not named in the warrant), with
        such assistance and by such force as is necessary and reasonable:

        (i)    to enter the place; and

        (ii)   to exercise the powers set out in subsection 48 (1); and

   (b)  state whether the entry is authorised to be made at any time of the
        day or night or during specified hours of the day or night; and

   (c)  specify the day (not more than 6 months after the issue of the
        warrant) on which the warrant ceases to have effect; and
