(i) state the name of the person to whom the notice is given; or
(ii) if the alleged offence is a parking offence—include information that identifies the vehicle to which the offence relates; and
(d) include information that identifies the infringement officer giving the notice (by including the officer’s name, identification number, signature or similar) and that indicates the officer is authorised to issue the infringement notice; and
(e) give brief details of the alleged offence to which the notice relates, including:
(i) the provision that was allegedly contravened; and

(iii) the time (if known) and day of, and the place of, the alleged offence; and
(f) state the amount that is payable under the notice; and
(g) give an explanation of how payment of the amount is to be made; and

(i) state that payment of the amount is not an admission of guilt or liability; and
(j) state that the person may apply to the notice authority for the airport in relation to the alleged offence to have the period in which to pay the amount extended; and
