"People who trash public land by squatting, dumping rubbish, riding motorbikes through native vegetation and destroying sand dunes for development will face tough new penalties under changes to the State’s environmental laws. Environment and Conservation Minister Jay Weatherill said changes to the Crown Lands Act that have passed Parliament would mean fines of up to $20,000 for the most serious offences as well expiation notices for other offences."
