Local Government Act 2020

A local law may—

prescribe a penalty not exceeding 20 penalty units for a contravention of a local law; and

prescribe a penalty not exceeding 2 penalty units for each day after a finding of guilt or conviction for an offence during which the contravention continues; and

prescribe higher penalties (not exceeding 20 penalty units) for a subsequent offence.

If a local law does not expressly prescribe a penalty for a contravention of the local law, the court before which proceedings are brought may impose a penalty not exceeding 10 penalty units.
