the day by which the person must take the action.
The stated day must be at least 28 days after the notice is given.
If a person is given a notice under subsection (1), the person must comply with the notice unless the person has a reasonable excuse for not complying with it.Maximum penalty—10 penalty units.
If a person is given a notice under subsection (1) in relation to a contravention of division 1, 2 or 3, the person can be prosecuted for the contravention only if the person does not comply with the notice.
