### sec.114 What investigator must do before land is entered for the first time
Before land is entered for the first time under an investigator’s authority, the investigator must give a written notice to the land’s owner or occupier.
The notice must state—
the chief executive has granted to the investigator a rail feasibility investigator’s authority for an area that is part of or includes the land; and
the things the investigator and associated persons of the investigator are authorised to do under the authority; and
a general outline of the things intended to be done on the land, including the construction of any temporary access track; and
the approximate period during which the land is to be entered under the authority; and
the grant of the authority is not an indication of a commitment or approval by the State, the chief executive or any other person in relation to any proposal, and in particular, does not commit the State to acquiring any land as a rail corridor.
The investigator or associated person may enter onto land only if—
the owner or occupier of the land gives written consent to the entry; or
at least 7 days have passed since the notice was given.
