48Doing bore work without licence

48 Doing bore work without licence (a) does bore work; and (b) does not hold a drilling licence that authorises the bore work. General rights to take water or do bore work under section 57 do not authorise unlicensed bore work, but this offence does not apply if the bore is subject to an exemption declared under section 47. (5) Subsection (1) does not apply if, at all times, the defendant does the bore work in the presence of a person who holds a drilling licence that authorises the bore work.
