PLANT DISEASES ACT 1924 - SECT 13B

13B Objection to certain works authorised by control order

(1) An occupier of land or premises on which works are authorised, by an order under section 13A, to be carried out may object to the carrying out of those works on the land or premises, and Schedule 4 applies in respect of any such objection.

(2) Each objection duly made and lodged is to be considered by the Director-General, who, taking into account both the merits of the objection and the significance of the works authorised by the order to be carried out on the land or premises:

(a) may confirm that the works authorised by the order are to be carried out on the land or premises (and, in so doing, may or may not specify conditions or restrictions to be observed by the inspector when carrying out the works), or

(b) may direct that the works authorised by the order are not to be carried out on the land or premises (and, in so doing, may or may not direct the carrying out of alternative works).

(3) Any confirmation or direction under subsection (2) is to be reduced to writing and, on being notified to the objector in accordance with Schedule 4, has effect as if it were an order of the Minister under section 13A (except that no objection may be made to it under this section).

(4) This section does not apply to an order under section 13A (1) that relates to an emergency disease or emergency pest or to an order referred to in section 13A (1A).
