102 Consent to entry
(1) A heritage officer seeking the consent of an occupier of a place to
enter the place must:
(a) give the occupier the reasons why entry is sought; and
(b) inform the occupier that the occupier may refuse to give
consent; and
(c) if the officer is an appointed heritage officer – show the
officer's identity card to the occupier.
(2) If:
(a) it is material in proceedings for a court to be satisfied the
occupier consented to entry under this Part; and
(b) written consent of the occupier is not produced in evidence;
the court may presume, in the absence of evidence to the contrary,
the occupier did not give consent.
