If you get a non-disturbance notice, you must follow it unless you have a good reason not to. You cannot refuse or fail to comply with the notice without a reasonable excuse. If you do not comply, you can get in trouble.

If you break this rule, you commit an offence and can be fined when convicted. As an individual, you can be fined up to $50,000. As any other person, such as a company, you can be fined up to $250,000.

This rule is similar to a rule in the Civil Aviation Act 1986, which you can find on the New Zealand legislation website.
