    Third, issue a “Notice of breach of by-law”.  This is a form you can download from the NSW Fair Trading web site.

    All of the above is correct except that it’s actually called a Notice To Comply and you can download it HERE. Also, the maximum fine imposed by the Tribunal for a first offence is $1100 and $2200 for a repeat offence.

    It’s worth noting that the wording means, effectively, you must comply with the specified by-law and you could be fined if you don’t. In other words, it’s a final warning with a sting in its tail.

    While we’re on the topic, Notices To Comply do not require mediation if they are ignored – you can go straight to the Tribunal.
