Infringements

Infringements may be issued for health, parking, litter, Local Laws, off road vehicles, animals and fire related matters.

If you have received an infringement it is important to pay or appeal it within 28 days of the date of issue of the fine.

If payment is not received within 28 days a Final Demand Notice will be sent to you with added costs and a further 28 days to pay the infringement notice.

If payment is not received in the next 28 days, your infringement notice will be registered at the Fines Enforcement Registry, which carries further costs and may effect licenses held in your name.
