Response to Breaching the Conditions of Entry

Response to Breaching the Conditions of Entry

The initial response to breaching the conditions will be to alert the offending person to the fact their behaviour/action is contrary to the conditions. A warning or direction (or both) may be given by site staff.

Failure to comply with any reasonable direction by site staff to rectify a breach or repeated breaches of the conditions may result in the offender being banned from entry and use of Sunshine Coast waste disposal and resource recovery centres.

Except in the event of dangerous or unlawful behaviour at which time an immediate ban can be imposed under the authority of the delegated officer, a written notice of intention to ban will be issued to persons in breach of the conditions together with the opportunity to respond. In order that the nature of the breach is fully understood, specific details of the breach will be provided with the notice of intention to ban. The delegated council officer will properly consider any response received to the proposed ban before making any decision.

A person who enters any Sunshine Coast waste disposal and resource recovery centres while they are under a ban is trespassing and may be reported to the Queensland Police Service. A person who is trespassing may also be prosecuted under Queensland law.

Appeals

A person who has been banned may appeal to the Chief Executive Officer, Sunshine Coast Council in writing within 7 days. The appellant must be informed of a decision within 28 days of receipt of the appeal.
