Penalty reminder notices

29. Penalty reminder notices



(1) An enforcement agency may serve a penalty reminder notice on a person on
whom an infringement notice was served if it appears to the enforcement agency
that an infringement penalty has not been paid-

   (a)  within the period for payment specified in the infringement notice; or

   (b)  if an application for internal review under Division 3 has been made
        and no previous penalty reminder notice has been served in respect of
        the infringement notice, within the time specified in section 26.

(2) If a payment plan applies to a person, an enforcement agency may serve a
penalty reminder notice on that person if it appears to the enforcement agency
that no previous penalty reminder notice has been served in respect of the
infringement notice and the person has-

   (a)  cancelled the payment plan; or





   (b)  removed an infringement penalty and prescribed costs in respect of an
        infringement offence from a payment plan; or

   (c)  is in default of a payment of the payment plan.

(3) If a person is served with a penalty reminder notice in relation to an
infringement notice, the time for payment of the infringement penalty is
extended for a period specified in the penalty reminder notice, being a period
not less than 28 days after the penalty reminder notice has been served.

(4) The infringement penalty together with any prescribed costs may be paid
within the extended period as if the infringement notice or law under which
the notice was served also required the payment of those costs.

(5) A penalty reminder notice must be in writing and contain the prescribed
details.
