304  Simplified outline

      This Chapter provides for:
             (a) civil penalty orders for contraventions of civil penalty provisions; and
             (b) infringement notices; and
             (c) enforceable undertakings.
      A civil penalty order may be sought from the Federal Court for the contravention of a civil penalty provision (see Part 2 of this Chapter).
      Certain strict liability offences and civil penalty provisions are subject to an infringement notice under Part 5 of the Regulatory Powers Act (see Part 3 of this Chapter).
      A person can be given an infringement notice for an alleged contravention of a specified strict liability offence or civil penalty provision. The person can choose to pay an amount as an alternative to proceedings being brought against the person in relation to the alleged contravention. However, if the person chooses not to do so, proceedings can be brought against the person in relation to the alleged contravention.
      Undertakings to comply with this Act may be accepted and enforced under Part 6 of the Regulatory Powers Act (see Part 4 of this Chapter). If a person gives an undertaking, the undertaking may be enforced by a court order.
