PART IV
CONTROL OF LAND IN COUNTRY PARKS
16. (1) Notwithstanding any Ordinance or the terms of any lease or agreement for a lease, in any case where the Authority is of the opinion that any use or proposed use of any leased land by the occupier within a country park would substantially reduce the enjoyment and amenities of the country park as such, he may request the appropriate Land Authority to exercise the powers conferred by this section.
(2) Where the Land Authority receives a request under subsection (1), he may, by notice in writing----
(a) require the occupier, within such period, not being less than 3 months, as the Land Authority may determine, to discontinue or modify the use; or
(b) prohibit the occupier from proceeding with the proposed use or, within such period, not being less than 3 months, as the Land Authority may determine, require the occupier to modify the proposed use,
so as to avoid the enjoyment and amenities of the country park being substantially reduced; and where the occupier is not the Crown lessee, the Land Authority shall, where practicable, serve on the Crown lessee a copy of the notice given to the occupier.
(3) A notice under subsection (2) shall notify the occupier, and where the occupier is not the Crown lessee, the Crown lessee, of his right to object under section 17.
(4) An occupier who fails to comply with the requirements of a notice given to him under subsection (2) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable to a fine of $5,000 and, in addition, to a fine of $100 for each day during which the offence has continued.
(5) Where an occupier or Crown lessee objects under section 17 the operation of the notice against which he is objecting shall be suspended until the final determination of the objection.
