Different payment options are available depending on the type of animal fine or infringement received. The back of the infringement notice shows the options available.

 

Animal related infringement

The options for paying an animal related infringement are detailed below. 

Pay in full

Pay in full within 28 days of the date of infringement. The infringement is then finalised and no further prosecution or enforcement will be taken for that infringement.

Pay in instalments

The first $60 must to be paid to Council within 28 days from the date of issue and receipted to the infringement as an underpayment. The first $60 can be paid over the counter or phone.

The balance will then be lodged with SPER (State Penalties Enforcement Registry) as a VIP Payment Plan and will not incur lodgement fees with SPER. This option is only for infringements that are $200 or more.

SPER will be in contact to arrange the payment plan for the rest of the payments. This means the rest of the payments won't be made through us.
