(ii) it is significantly more practicable to do so having regard to the timeliness and cost of examining or processing the thing at another place and the availability of expert assistance; or (b) the occupier of the premises agrees in writing. (2) The thing may be moved to another place for examination or processing for not longer than 72 hours. (3) A building inspector may apply to a magistrate for an extension of time if the inspector believes on reasonable grounds that the thing cannot be examined or processed within 72 hours. (4) The building inspector must give notice of the application to the occupier of the premises, and the occupier is entitled to be heard on the application. (5) If a thing is moved to another place under this section, the building inspector must, if practicable— (a) tell the occupier of the premises the address of the place where, and time when, the examination or processing will be carried out; and (b) allow the occupier or the occupier’s representative to be present during the examination or processing. (6) The provisions of this part relating to the issue of search warrants apply, with any necessary changes, to the giving of an extension under this section.
