Warrant cards
A warrant card is proof of identification and authority carried by some of our staff. The text on a warrant card indicates that the card holder (also known as an Enforcement Officer) is granted authority to perform a task under a particular Act or Bylaw. Enforcement officers must carry warrant cards, which list their powers and responsibilities.
Enforcement officers have a number of powers to enter property and take action, including to take samples, undertake emergency works actions or issue abatement notices or infringement notices.
Below is a list of Acts and Bylaws which some of our staff have powers to enforce.
