58 Care to be taken
(1) In the exercise of a power under this Division, an authorised
officer must do as little damage as possible.
(2) As far as practicable, entry onto fenced land is to be made
through an existing opening in the enclosing fence or, if entry through an
existing opening is not practicable, through a new
opening.
(3) Any new opening is to be properly closed when the need for entry
ceases.
(4) If, in the exercise of a power under this Division, any pit,
trench, hole or bore is made, the network operator or retail supplier
concerned must, if the owner or occupier of the land so requires:(a) fence it and keep it securely fenced so long as it remains open or
not sufficiently sloped down, and
(b) without unnecessary delay, fill it up or level it or sufficiently
slope it down.
