TRANSPORT OPERATIONS (PASSENGER TRANSPORT) ACT 1994 - SECT 129ZZ
Contravention of civil banning order or interim civil banning order
(1) A person must not, without reasonable excuse, contravene a
civil banning order. Penalty— Maximum penalty—40 penalty units or 6
months imprisonment.
(2) It is a reasonable excuse for a person to
contravene a civil banning order applying to the person— (a) if, when the
contravention happened, the person was not aware, and was reasonably not
aware, that the order had been made; or
(b) if the person is contravening the
order because of an emergency; or
(c) if— (i) the person has applied for an
order to vary the civil banning order; and
(ii) the court has not decided the
application; and
(iii) the contravention of the civil banning order
reasonably relates to the changed circumstances in relation to which the
application is made.
Example for paragraph (c)— A person to whom a
civil banning order applies has a reasonable excuse if— (a) the person has
applied for an order to vary the civil banning order because— (i) it
restricts the person’s use of the public transport network to only permit
travel to and from the person’s place of work; and
(ii) the person’s
place of work has changed; and
(b) the person uses the public transport
network, in contravention of the civil banning order, to travel to and from
the new place of work while the Magistrates Court is considering the
application.
(3) If the Magistrates Court convicts a person of an offence
against subsection (1) , the court may, in addition to or instead of
sentencing the person under subsection (1) , vary the civil banning order.
(4) In this section, other than subsection (2) (c) —
"civil banning order" includes an interim civil banning order.
