### sec.135 Entry by a council worker, at any time, for urgent action
A council worker may enter a property (other than a home on the property), at any time without the permission of the occupier of the property, in a potentially dangerous situation to take urgent action for local government purposes.
A council worker may enter a property to cut down a tree that was blown over in a storm and is in danger of falling and injuring someone or damaging property.
However, the council worker must, as soon as reasonably practicable after the council worker enters the property—
inform any occupier of the property—
of the reason for entering the property; and
that the council worker is authorised under this Act to enter the property without the permission of the occupier; and
produce his or her identity card for the occupier of the property to inspect.
