Section 65 relates to the service of notices or other documents on any person where that is required or authorised under the Act.
	Subsection (1)(a) allows a document to be served by email or other electronic means where the recipient has agreed to the electronic method of service. Under subsection (3) a person who receives a document by electronic means may request a hard copy within 7 days and the other party must then provide the hard copy as soon as reasonably practicable.
	However under subsection (4) a notice under section 55(3) seeking a right of entry under section 54 for the purposes of future high speed rail works cannot be given by electronic means. This is because failure to comply with such a notice may constitute evidence of an offence under section 55(4).
	Subsections (1)(b) to (d) and (2) provide for serving documents by delivery or by post. They include provision specifying where a document may be served on individuals, bodies corporate and partnerships.
	Subsections (5) and (6) contain provisions to deal with cases where a document is required to be served under the Act on a person as the owner or occupier of land and the person’s name or address cannot be determined, and provides the means by which documents can still be served.
