You can get an infringement fee if you break a rule. A regional council can keep the infringement fee if it is for breaking a rule under section 33O and the harbourmaster or enforcement officer gave you the fine. The council can also keep the fee if you broke a maritime rule or navigation bylaw and the harbourmaster or enforcement officer gave you the fine under section 423.
