Non payment of fines

If payment in response to an on-the-spot fine, or infringement notice, is not received within a mandatory 14 days of the notice being served, the Council will send the alleged offender a courtesy letter, in accordance with the Fines and Penalties (Recovery) Act . This will result in a $20 penalty being added to the original fine.

If the original fine and the $20.00 penalty is not received within 28 days of this courtesy letter being sent out, the Council will pass the infringement notice on to the Northern Territory Government's Fines Recovery Unit for follow-up action to recoup the amount owed. If all attempts to recover the amount fail, legal action will is likely to be taken.
