Erection of notices and signs
5B Erection of notices and signs
The chief executive officer may cause to be erected, placed or marked, at places within or on the boundaries of a departmental area, such notices and signs as the chief executive officer considers necessary or desirable for the purpose of indicating publicly —
that the area concerned is a departmental area;
the general extent of the departmental area;
any prohibition or restriction that applies under this Act to conduct in the departmental area or in a portion of it;
the liability of any person who fails to comply with a prohibition or restriction referred to in paragraph (c); or
any other matters relating to the departmental area or a portion of it.
It is not a defence to a charge of committing an offence under this Act to prove that a notice or sign is not erected, placed or marked under this section at any place unless an element of the offence is dependent on the existence of the notice or sign.
A person shall not destroy, damage, deface, obliterate, move or otherwise interfere with a notice or sign erected, placed or marked under this section.
Penalty for this subsection: a fine of $5 000.
