National Parks (Infringement Offences) Regulations 2019 (LI 2019/327).

The National Parks Infringement Offences Regulations 2019 establish the framework for addressing infringement offences in New Zealand's national parks under the National Parks Act 1980. These regulations, effective from February 2020, specify the penalties, infringement fees, and processes for dealing with breaches such as unauthorized entry, pollution, littering, illegal hunting, and misuse of vehicles and equipment within park boundaries. They include detailed schedules defining offences, corresponding infringement fees and maximum fines, as well as prescribed forms for infringement and reminder notices. The regulations also outline the procedures for paying fines, requesting hearings, and exercising defences, effectively enabling the Department of Conservation to enforce park protection measures through streamlined enforcement mechanisms. The text consists of 7 Articles and has 4 Schedules.
