Honiara City Council has fined one person for throwing rubbish from a vehicle and another, a shop owner, $1000 –for the breach of its ordinances.
In a statement today, HCC said its law enforcers made two arrests today and fined them on the spot.
It also confirms that a food outlet, commonly known as kaibar was fined $1,000 on the spot for the breach of the seven meters by-law. The 7 meter law ensures that shop owners are responsible for seven metres around their shops to make sure there is no litter within the zone.
The other person fined today was a passenger who paid $100 penalty on the spot for littering from a vehicle.
Following today’s fines, the HCC says its law enforcement officers would not tolerate any individuals who breaches its ordinances.

“We must work together to make the city great again,” it says.
The new tougher penalties were part of the reforms for the Pacific Games in ensuring that the city is clean and those who throw rubbish pay for their actions.
