        (2)         Notice under this regulation is to state briefly — 

            (a)         a description of the caravan sufficient to identify it, including where possible, its number plate; and

            (b)         the facts that have caused the authorised person to come to the conclusion that the caravan is in such a condition that it is an immediate danger to people or property at the facility; and

            (c)         the action proposed to be taken to alleviate that danger.

        (3)         Where an authorised person has given notice under this regulation then he or she may cause the caravan to be made safe or to be removed from the facility.

        (4)         A person who causes a caravan to be made safe under subregulation (3), may require payment of the reasonable costs of doing so from the owner of the caravan.
