require the person to take action, as stated in the notice, to remedy or prevent relevant damage.
An improvement notice must—
state the time within which compliance with any prohibition or requirement included in the notice must be complied with; and
state when the notice ceases to be in force; and
identify any relevant land for the notice.
An improvement notice may be given to a person only if it is reasonable in the circumstances to give the person the notice.

If an improvement notice is given to a person in the person’s capacity as the occupier of relevant land for the notice, the improvement notice applies not only to the person to whom it is given but also to each other person who is an occupier of the relevant land from time to time while the notice is in force as if it had also been given to the other person.
An improvement notice may include information about action the trust may take for noncompliance with the notice.
