        facsimile to the person's usual or last known place of residence or
        business; or

   (b)  by leaving it for the person at the person's usual or last known place
        of residence or business with a person who is apparently over 16 years
        and who apparently resides or works there; or

   (c)  in the case of a notice relating to an equipment site, by leaving it
        for the person at the site with a person who is apparently over 16
        years and who apparently is the site manager for the time being of the
        site.

(2) If the person to whom an improvement notice or prohibition notice is
issued is the proprietor of, or is in charge of, prescribed equipment at an
equipment site, but is not the site manager of the site, he or she must as
soon as possible give a copy of the notice to the site manager of the site
(unless the equipment to which the notice relates is no longer at the site).

Penalty: 5 penalty units for a natural person; 25 penalty units for a body
corporate.

notice, improvement notice or prohibition notice is issued must, as soon as
possible after becoming aware of the issuing of the notice-





   (a)  bring the notice to the attention of each proprietor of, and each
        person who is in charge of, any prescribed equipment at the place that
        is affected by the notice (unless the proprietor or person is already
        aware of the notice); and

   (b)  prominently display a copy of the notice at or near the place, or part
        of the place, or prescribed equipment, that is affected by the notice.
