        (1)         A notice required or authorised to be given to, or served on, a person for the purposes of this Act may—

            (a)         be given to the person personally; or

            (b)         be posted in an envelope addressed to the person—

                  (i)         at the person's last known address; or

                  (ii)         at the person's address for service; or

            (c)         be left for the person at the person's last known address or address for service with someone apparently over the age of 16 years; or

            (d)         be given to, or served on, the person in a manner prescribed by regulation.

        (2)         If, in any proceedings, it is proved (on evidence by affidavit or otherwise) that a notice required to be given to, or served on, a registered owner of a motor vehicle under this Act was sent by ordinary prepaid post in an envelope addressed to the owner at the address recorded in relation to the owner in a register kept under the Motor Vehicles Act 1959 or the law of another State or Territory of the Commonwealth, the notice will be conclusively presumed to have been given to the owner at the time when it would, in the ordinary course of post, reach the address to which it was posted.
