Illustration for Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017

You must follow a notice under section 62 within one month. This starts when you get the notice or when your appeal is finished. If you appeal, the notice must be confirmed. You have to do what the notice says. If you do not, Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) can enter your land. FENZ can then do what the notice says you must do.
