35Restoration of agricultural land after construction

35 Restoration of agricultural land after construction (1) Where a pipeline enters or crosses agricultural land, the licensee shall, at his expense, immediately after the completion of the construction of the part of the pipeline that enters or crosses that land, restore the land to enable it to be used as far as practicable for the purposes for which it was used immediately before that construction. (2) Where a licensee fails to restore land, as required by subsection (1), a person entitled to an interest in the land may restore the land and recover from the licensee, in a court of competent jurisdiction, the expenses reasonably incurred by him in carrying out that restoration. (3) The recovery of expenses under subsection (2) does not affect any right to compensation in respect of the land that the person who restores land in accordance with that subsection, or any other person, may have under this Act. (4) The Minister may, at any time, on the request of a person entitled to an interest in land, include among the conditions of the licence affecting that land such conditions as he thinks fit to ensure that the land is maintained in a suitable condition and that noxious weeds and vermin are controlled.
