The Director of a NSW waste company has been ordered by the Parramatta court to comply with an Enforceable Undertaking (EU) voluntarily entered into with the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR), following a breach of the EU conditions.
NHVR Acting Executive Director Statutory Compliance Belinda Hughes said the Director failed to undertake three safety initiatives within 12 months, as required under the EU.
“The court issued the Director an order to comply with the EU conditions within 12 months, as well as a Conditional Release Order for a period of two years,” Ms Hughes said.
“If the Director doesn’t comply with the Court order, they may be prosecuted again and risk a more severe penalty.
“The NHVR offers EUs as an alternative to prosecution because they provide real safety benefits for the transport industry and the community. If a company, or person doesn’t comply with the conditions in an EU, the NHVR will hold them accountable.”
If the accused does not comply with the Court order, they may be prosecuted again for failing to comply with a court order.
