Sydney Curfew Act
7 Prohibition on taking off or landing during curfew periods
(1) An aircraft must not take off from, or land at, Sydney Airport during a curfew period, unless the take off or landing is permitted under Part 3.
(2) The operator of an aircraft commits an offence if:
(a) the operator engages in conduct; and
(b) the operator’s conduct results in a contravention of subsection (1).
Penalty: 1,000 penalty units.
Penalty units are currently $313, however elsewhere I have read that a fine of $550,000 has applied for previous breaches.
GF, JQ and TG have previously been fined for breaches.
