An enforcement agency can address minor law breaking by issuing an infringement notice (on-the-spot fine) as an alternative to court prosecution for specified 'infringement' offences. The Maximum Court Penalty is the maximum amount the court can impose on an offender from 1 July 2022. Infringement fines are lower than the Maximum Court Penalty.
Although the department has sought to make the lists as accurate and complete as possible, updates and revisions may be necessary.
