(a) has given an entity (other than the land owner) notice under
section 34 (Intention to make rectification order); and
(b) after considering any submissions made within the time
mentioned in the notice, is satisfied that the entity is
contravening or has contravened this Act or an operational Act;
and
(c) is not satisfied that it is appropriate to make a rectification order
in relation to the entity, because—
(i) the registrar is satisfied on reasonable grounds that the
entity is not able to do a thing in the way that would be
required by the order; or
(ii) of the relationship between the entity and the land owner;
and
(d) is satisfied that the act that caused the contravention happened,
or ended, less than 10 years before the day the Territory
proposes to authorise someone under this section.

to enter the land at least 24 hours before the licensee enters the

(4) However, the Territory must not authorise someone until—
(a) if the entity applied for review of the decision to authorise a
licensee under this section within the period for review (the
review period) of the decision allowed under the ACT Civil and
Administrative Tribunal Act 2008—the review is finally
disposed of; or
(b) the review period has ended.
(5) The entity is liable for the reasonable cost incurred in doing anything
under subsection (2) and the cost is taken to be a debt owing to the
