### sec.157B Power to give enforcement notice
This section applies if the Coordinator-General reasonably believes a person has contravened, or is contravening, an enforceable condition.
The Coordinator-General may give the person a written notice (an enforcement notice ) requiring the person to—
comply with the condition; or
take stated steps the Coordinator-General considers are reasonably necessary to ensure compliance with the condition.
Without limiting subsection (2) (b) , an enforcement notice may—
require the recipient to not start, or stop, a stated activity indefinitely, for a stated period or until further notice from the Coordinator-General; or
require the recipient to carry out a stated activity only during stated times or subject to stated conditions; or
require the recipient to take stated action within a stated period.
An enforcement notice may also require the recipient to notify the Coordinator-General when the recipient has complied with the notice.
To remove any doubt, it is declared that this section does not—
affect a power under another Act to enforce a condition; or
prevent the bringing of a proceeding for an offence against another Act.
See, however, the Acts Interpretation Act 1954 , section 45 (Offence punishable only once).
