Western Australian Consolidated Acts Western Australian Consolidated Acts (1) Where any owner or
occupier of land becomes liable to the local government for the expense of
making drains or fittings, or attaching or constructing ventilating shafts,
pipes, or tubes, the local government may, on the application of the owner or
occupier, enter into an agreement with the owner or occupier for the payment
of such expenses and any costs incurred by the local government in relation to
such works, over a period not exceeding the period of any loan from which the
moneys expended to pay for the same were derived, or in not more than 60
quarterly instalments from the date of the completion of the work, if that
period does not exceed the period of the loan.
(2) Interest from time
to time on the amount remaining, to be paid at such rate per centum per annum,
not exceeding by more than 0.5% per annum the rate of interest on the loan
moneys from which such moneys were expended, and in other cases, at such rate
as may be prescribed, shall be added to each instalment, and all such moneys
and interest shall be a charge on the land in respect of which such works have
been carried out, and may be recovered from any owner of such land with costs.
(3) The obligation of
any occupier under an agreement made pursuant to this section shall cease
in respect of any instalments becoming due thereunder after his tenancy shall
have determined, but without prejudice to the right of the local government to
recover such instalments from the owner.
