541 Keeping of registers

(1) This section applies if the chief executive or administering authority (the
"relevant entity" ) is required to keep a register under section 540 or 540A .

(a) the relevant entity must keep the document open for public inspection in the way required of a register under section 542 ; and

(b) section 542 applies to the document as if it were included in a register.

(4) If particulars of any land are recorded in the environmental management register or contaminated land register, they must include the real property description of the land.

(5) Subject to subsections (2) to (4) , the relevant entity may keep a register in the way it considers appropriate, including, for example, on a website.
