Western Australian Consolidated Acts Western Australian Consolidated Acts (1) The local
government may, subject to the approval of the Executive Director, Public
Health, deal with any land held by it for the purpose of receiving, storing,
disinfecting, or distributing sewage, in such manner as it deems most
profitable —
(a) by
leasing the same for a period not exceeding 25 years for agricultural
purposes; or
(b) by
contracting with some person to take the whole or a part of the produce of
such land; or
(c) by
farming such land and disposing of the produce thereof;
but in dealing with
such land, the local government shall see that provision is made for
effectually disposing of all the sewage brought to such land without creating
a nuisance or endangering the public health.
(2) When a local
government, with the approval of the Executive Director, Public Health, agrees
with any person as to the supply of sewage, or as to works to be made for the
purpose of such supply, the local government may contribute to the expense of
carrying into execution by such person all or any of the purposes of such
agreement.
