  The following is a simplified outline of this Chapter:

         • This Chapter provides for civil penalty orders for contraventions of civil penalty provisions and for infringement notices.
         • A civil penalty provision is enforceable under Part 4 of the Regulatory Powers Act (see section 85).
         • A civil penalty order may be sought from the Federal Court of Australia for the contravention of a civil penalty provision.
         • A strict liability offence is subject to an infringement notice under Part 5 of the Regulatory Powers Act (see section 86).
         • A person can be given an infringement notice for an alleged contravention of a strict liability offence.

However, if the person chooses not to do so, proceedings can be brought against the person in relation to the alleged contravention.
