Roads (General) Amendment (Penalty

Notices) Regulation 2002

under the

Roads Act 1993

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Roads Act 1993.

CARL SCULLY, M.P.,

Minister for Roads

Explanatory note

The object of this Regulation is to increase the penalties for offences dealt with by way of a penalty notice issued under section 243 of the Roads Act 1993 in relation to contraventions of certain provisions under the Roads (General) Regulation 2000 (the 2000 Regulation).

The penalties amounts are being increased (generally by 4.7 per cent) from $355 to $372, from $237 to $248 and from $118 to $123 in line with movements in the Consumer Price Index.

The 2000 Regulation prescribed short descriptions for certain offences under that Regulation as penalty notices offences. However, with the repeal of sections 145A (1) and 145B of the Justices Act 1902, relating to descriptions of offences and short descriptions of offences and their replacement with general provisions that do not require the prescription of particular descriptions, the matter in the 2000 Regulation relating to the IPB Code (a Police Department code) and short description text have been omitted from this Regulation.

This Regulation is made under the Roads Act 1993, including sections 243 (Penalty notices for certain offences) and 264 (the general regulation-making power).
