EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Local Government Act 1919 was recently amended to enable penalty notices in respect of offences against Ordinance No. 34C (e.g. standing in a free parking area provided by a council for longer than the maximum period allowed or standing in a space designated for use by disabled persons) to be issued under the Traffic Act 1909.

1993—No. 19

This Ordinance omits the provision of Ordinance 34C which currently prescribes

the amount of penalty for such offences (if dealt with by penalty notice) and notes
that amounts are now prescribed under the Motor Traffic Regulations 1935.
