### sec.83 General power to enter places
An authorised officer may enter a place if—
an occupier of the place consents under subdivision 2 to the entry and section 84 (3) has been complied with for the occupier; or
it is a public place and the entry is made when it is open to the public; or
it is not a home and the entry is made when the place is open for carrying on business or otherwise open for entry; or
the entry is authorised under a warrant and, if there is an occupier of the place, section 84D has been complied with for the occupier.
If the power to enter arose only because an occupier of the place consented to the entry, the power is subject to any conditions of the consent and ceases if the consent is withdrawn.
If the power to enter is under a warrant, the power is subject to the terms of the warrant.
