New South Wales Consolidated Regulations

SYDNEY HARBOUR FORESHORE AUTHORITY REGULATION 2006 - REG 11

11 Acting contrary to notices

(1) The Authority has, in relation to a public area, the same function as a local council under section 632 of the Local Government Act 1993 .

Note: Section 632 of the Local Government Act 1993 authorises the erection of notices with respect to the payment of entry or use fees, the use of vehicles, the taking of animals or other actions in or uses of public places. Section 633C of that Act, however, prevents any such notice affecting roads or traffic functions under other Acts.

(2) A person who, in a public area, fails to comply with the terms of a notice erected by the Authority in the exercise of that function is guilty of an offence.

Maximum penalty: 5 penalty units.

(3) This clause does not prevent the erection of a notice in a public area by a local council under the Local Government Act 1993 . A notice erected by the Authority may be combined with a notice erected by a local council.

(4) If a failure to comply with the terms of a notice also constitutes an offence against another provision of this Regulation or against the Local Government Act 1993 , a person who fails to comply with the terms of the notice is not liable to be convicted of both offences.
