sec.183 Contents of non‐disturbance notice
A non‐disturbance notice may require the person to— preserve the site at which a notifiable occurrence has occurred for a specified period; or prevent the disturbance of a particular site (including the operation of plant or rolling stock) in other circumstances for a specified period that is reasonable in the circumstances. A non‐disturbance notice must specify the period (of no more than 7 days) for which it applies and set out— the obligations of the person to whom the notice is issued; and the measures to be taken to preserve a site or prevent disturbance of a site; and information about the right to a review under Part 7 of the decision to serve the notice; and the penalty for contravening the notice. In subsection (1) , a reference to a site includes any rail infrastructure, rolling stock, substance or other thing associated with the site.
