333 Entering adjacent premises to gain access to other premises
(1) An authorised officer may enter any premises (adjacent premises) if it is necessary to do so for the purpose of gaining access to other premises to perform functions or duties, or exercise powers, as an authorised officer (including as an authorised person for the purposes of Part 2 or 3 of the Regulatory Powers Act as those Parts apply in relation to this Act).
(2) However, an authorised officer is not authorised to enter adjacent premises under subsection (1) unless:
(a) the occupier of the premises has consented to the entry and the authorised officer has shown the authorised officer’s identity card if required by the occupier; or
(b) the entry is made under an adjacent premises warrant.
Note: For the issue of an adjacent premises warrant, and the obligations and powers of authorised officers in entering premises under an adjacent premises warrant or with consent, see Divisions 3 and 4 of this Part and Parts 2 and 3 of the Regulatory Powers Act (as they apply because of Parts 2 and 3 of this Chapter).
