Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016

A person who is guilty of an offence because the person contravenes a requirement made by or under this Act or the regulations (whether the requirement is imposed by a notice or otherwise) to do or cease to do something (whether or not within a specified period or before a particular time)—

continues, until the requirement is complied with and despite the fact that any specified period has expired or time has passed, to be liable to comply with the requirement, and

is guilty of a continuing offence for each day the contravention continues.

This section does not apply to an offence if the relevant provision of this Act or the regulations does not provide for a penalty for a continuing offence.

This section does not apply to the extent that a requirement of a notice is revoked.

A reference in this section to this Act or the regulations includes a reference to the native vegetation legislation.
