### sec.71 Monitoring warrants
An authorised officer may apply to a magistrate for a warrant under this section in relation to a particular place (other than premises, or the part of premises, used exclusively for residential purposes).
Subject to subsection (3) , the magistrate may issue the warrant if the magistrate is satisfied, by information on oath, that it is necessary and reasonable that the authorised officer should have access to the place for the purpose of finding out whether this Act is being complied with.
If the magistrate requires further information about the grounds on which the issue of the warrant is being sought, the magistrate may issue the warrant only if the authorised officer or another person has given the information to the magistrate in the form (either orally or by affidavit) that the magistrate requires.
The warrant must—
authorise the authorised officer, with such assistance and by such force as is necessary and reasonable—
to enter the place; and
to exercise the powers set out in section 70 (1) (a) to (e) ; and
state whether the entry is authorised to be made—
at any reasonable time of the day or night; or
only during specified reasonable hours of the day or night; and
specify the day (not later than 14 days after the issue of the warrant) on which the warrant ceases to have effect; and
state the purpose for which the warrant is issued.
