Infringement notices

References
There are instant fines under the Building Act 2004 called infringement notices.

They are for specific things and the fines are set fees.

Examples of offences under the Act include: 
  • building without consent (s 40)
  • failing to display a building warrant of fitness (s 108(5)(a) )
  • not complying with a compliance schedule (s 101)
  • failing to comply with a notice to fix (s 168)


If you want to know more, see: Schedule 1 of the Building (Infringement Offences, Fees and Forms) Regulations 2007.

It is unusual for infringement notices and offences directly against the Act to go to Court. Most court cases in this space are appeals of Determinations.
