Failure to Comply with an Enforcement Order
If the respondent to an enforcement order or an interim enforcement order fails to comply with the order, the council can apply for the Environment Court's consent under section 315(2) of the RMA to:
- comply with the order on behalf of the respondent, and for this purpose, enter upon any land or enter any structure, and
- sell or otherwise dispose of any structure or materials salvaged in complying with the order, and
- after allowing for any moneys received, if any, recover the costs and expenses of doing so as a debt due from that person.
