         • Authorised officers are permitted to enter premises under a monitoring warrant or with consent of the occupier and to exercise monitoring powers under that Act for the purposes of determining:
             (a) whether this Act or a compliance agreement has been, or is being, complied with; or
             (b) whether information given in compliance or purported compliance with this Act is correct.
         • Authorised officers are permitted to enter premises under an investigation warrant or with consent of the occupier and to exercise investigation powers under that Act for the purposes of gathering material relating to the contravention of offence and civil penalty provisions in this Act.
