South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts15—Reconstruction of buildings destroyed by accident
(1) Where an accident
by explosion or fire occurs in and wholly or partly destroys a factory, the
factory shall not be reconstructed and any further supply of an explosive
shall not be put therein except with the permission of the Minister, and any
explosive put therein in contravention of this section shall be deemed to be
manufactured in an unauthorised place, and the offence may be punished
accordingly: Provided that this enactment shall not prevent the reconstruction
of a factory magazine in any lawfully existing factory upon such site in the
factory and with such precautions as seem reasonable to the Minister, due
regard being had to the working of the factory as well as to the safety of the
public and of the persons employed therein.
(2) Where an accident
by explosion or fire in a factory wholly or partly destroys any building of
the factory as to which an inspector has previously to the accident sent to
the occupier a notice that the building is unduly near to some building or
work outside the factory, the building shall be reconstructed only upon such
site in the factory and with such precautions as may seem reasonable to the
Minister, due regard being had to the working of the factory as well as to the
safety of the public and of the persons employed therein.
(3) Where an accident
by explosion or by fire in a factory wholly or partly destroys two or more
buildings in the factory, not more than one of such buildings shall be
reconstructed except with the permission of the Minister: Provided that this
subsection shall not apply to any building in a lawfully existing factory if
either, both, or all such buildings are incorporating mills, or if as regards
any other buildings an inspector has not previously to the accident sent to
the occupier a notice that the buildings are unduly near to each other.
(4) Where a building
is constructed on a different site in pursuance of this section, the necessary
alterations shall be made in the licence, and the alterations shall be deemed
to be part of the licence.
(5) The reconstruction
of any building in contravention of this section shall be deemed to be a
breach of the terms of the licence, and shall be punished accordingly.
