Hawkers (Fees) Determination 2007 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI 2007- 158
made under the
Hawkers Act 2003, Section 45 - Determination of Fees

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 45 of the Hawkers Act 2000 (the Act) provides the Minister with the power to determine fees for the purposes of the Act. 

This determination revokes the previous fee determination (DI 2006-98) which set fees for the 2006-2007 financial year and establishes fees from 1 July 2007.

The determination increases the fees payable under the Act by the current wage price index for Canberra issued by the Australian Bureau of Statistics from 1 July 2007 (4.0%), consistent with the Government’s announcement on indexing of fees and charges as part of the 2006-07 ACT Budget.  The increases are rounded down to the nearest 5 cents.

By virtue of section 57(2) of the Legislation Act 2001 the fees mentioned in the determination are payable before the relevant licence, exemption etc is issued.

A person seeking a Hawkers Licence may be liable for more than one fee listed in item 1 depending on the circumstances of their proposed business operation.

The new fee determination takes effect on 1 July 2007.
