(a) the issuing entity has authorised a pest controller to--
(i) at a reasonable time, enter the owner's land on a date stated in the notice, at least 7 days after the owner receives the notice, or as soon as practicable after the stated date; and
(ii) take stated reasonable action against the pest; and
(iii) take onto the land the persons, equipment and materials the pest controller reasonably requires to take the action; and
(b) the owner will be liable, or if there are 2 or more owners, each owner will be liable jointly and severally, for--
(i) the amount of the costs incurred in taking, or attempting to take, the action; and
(ii) if the owner does not pay the amount when it is payable--interest on the overdue amount at the rate, and calculated in the way, prescribed under a regulation.
Examples of why it may not be practicable to enter on the stated date for subsection (1)(a)(i)--

(2) The entry notice must also state the period, of not more than 2 months, that the notice remains in force.
(3) The issuing entity may give the landowner a further entry notice if the entity reasonably believes it is necessary for a pest controller to enter the land to check the effectiveness of action taken under an entry notice or take further action.
