Penalty Units
These Regulations provide for penalties by reference to penalty units within
the meaning of section 110 of the Sentencing Act 1991. The amount of the
penalty is to be calculated, in accordance with section 7 of the Monetary
Units Act 2004, by multiplying the number of penalty units applicable by the
value of a penalty unit.
The value of a penalty unit for the financial year commencing 1 July 2008 is
$113.42.
The amount of the calculated penalty may be rounded to the nearest dollar.
The value of a penalty unit for future financial years is to be fixed by the
Treasurer under section 5 of the Monetary Units Act 2004. The value of a
penalty unit for a financial year must be published in the Government Gazette
and a Victorian newspaper before 1 June in the preceding financial year.
