4. The Crown may, for the purpose of exercising any right or complying with any obligation of the Crown under this agreement in relation to the maintenance and access easement:
   (a) enter the Maintenance Easement Area at any time with or without agents, consultants, servants, contractors and workmen with all necessary tools, implements, machinery, vehicles or equipment; and

   (b) forthwith make good any damage done to the Maintenance Easement Area and to any occupier of the Maintenance Easement Area including any damage done to any property of an occupier of the Maintenance Easement Area.

6. To ensure that the Crown can maintain the May Road Retaining Walls, the Owner covenants with the Crown that it will not build or erect any structures or other improvements on the Maintenance Easement Area without first obtaining the written consent of the Crown. The Crown shall be entitled to withhold such consent if, in the Crown’s reasonable opinion, such building, structure or improvement will or might have the effect of obstructing the Crown’s access to the May Road Retaining Walls or will or may significantly increase the Crown’s cost of maintaining the May Road Retaining Walls.

7. The Owner shall repair, maintain and keep in good order, condition and repair the Maintenance Easement Area. The costs of such maintenance shall be borne by the Owner.

8. (a) If the Owner fails to maintain the Maintenance Easement Area as required under this agreement, and such failure to maintain the easement area may affect the structural integrity of the May Road Retaining Walls or result in additional maintenance costs to the Crown, then the Crown shall serve written notice on the Owner requiring the Owner to complete the maintenance works within seven days from the service of the notice.
   (b) If the Owner does not complete the maintenance works before expiration of the notice, the Crown shall be entitled to undertake such maintenance works and recover the costs of so doing from the Owner as a liquidated debt.

9. The Crown shall be responsible for its costs for the maintenance of the May Road Retaining Walls.

10. The grant of the maintenance and access easements shall be in perpetuity. The Owner shall have no power whether express or implied to determine the maintenance and access easements for breach of a provision herein.

11. The Owner shall not do any act, which impedes, interferes with or restricts the rights of the Crown and other authorised persons in relation to the maintenance and access easements.

12. The following provisions will apply to all disputes in relation to the maintenance and access easements or to any of the rights and obligations contained herein.
    (a) Any dispute which may arise between the parties concerning the interpretation of the maintenance and access easement or relating to any other matter arising under the agreement or this Schedule will be actively and in good faith negotiated by the parties with a view to a speedy resolution of such disputes.
    (b) If the parties cannot resolve a dispute within 15 business days of any dispute arising then, unless otherwise expressly provided in the agreement or this Schedule, they will, without prejudice to any other right, explore whether such dispute can be resolved by agreement between them using informal means.
