On 7 July 2009, the Planning and Building Committee required the owners of the containers to arrange for them to be sited so as not to cause an eyesore or inconvenience for neighbours. If this was not rectified within two weeks, the Planning and Building Committee would make a proposal to the Town Council for the imposition of a fine in accordance with section 57 of the Planning and Building Act no. 37/1997.

    The Planning and Building Committee makes the following recommendation to the Town Council:“The Hafnarfjörður Town Council approves that previously announced daily fines for the condition of the plot will be kr. 20,000 per day, and will be collected from 1 September 2009, if the necessary improvements have not been made by that time.“
