sec.256 Notifying owner that property moved

This section applies if property is moved under section 255 by a responsible person, or an authorised person, for a busway, busway transport infrastructure or light rail. The responsible person for the busway, busway transport infrastructure or light rail (the responsible officer ) must, within 14 days after moving the property, give the owner of the property a written notice that states— the property has been moved; and how the property may be recovered; and if the responsible officer considers, on reasonable grounds, the property has been abandoned— the property is considered to be abandoned property; and the property may be sold if the property is not recovered within 2 months. If the owner can not be identified or located within the 14 days, the written notice may be given by publishing the notice in a newspaper circulating generally in the State. However, the responsible officer need not give the written notice if— the property has insufficient value to justify giving the notice; or it is otherwise impracticable to give the notice.
