Infringement notices
An infringement notice is a written notice of an alleged infringement offence under the Resource Management Act, issued in accordance with the Summary Proceedings Act.
An infringement notice requires the payment of a fee of an amount fixed by regulations. Payment of the fine does not lead to the recording of a criminal conviction.
Infringement notices are suitable for responding quickly to relatively moderate offences that do not warrant prosecution.
