241: Government works not to be interfered with

"Don't touch or damage things built or owned by the government"

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

You cannot interfere with government works. This rule is part of the laws about what councils can and cannot do. The law that said this, section 241, is no longer in effect because it was repealed on 1 November 1989 by section 25(1) of the Local Government Amendment Act (No 2) 1989.
