222  Duties of authorised officers
  An authorised officer entering premises under this Subdivision and doing a thing on that premises must:
 (a) take all reasonable steps to ensure that the doing of the thing causes as little detriment and inconvenience, and does as little damage, as is practicable to the premises and to anything on, or growing or living on, the premises; and
 (b) cooperate as far as practicable with an occupier of the premises; and
 (c) remain on the premises only for such period as is reasonably necessary; and
 (d) leave the premises, as nearly as practicable, in the condition in which it was immediately before the thing was done.
