Land (Planning and Environment) (Fees) Determination 
2004 (No 1)

Disallowable instrument DI2004-86

made under the

LAND (PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT) ACT 1991, s287 (Power of Minister to Determine Fees)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Pursuant to section 287 of the Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991 (the Act), the Minister has the power to determine fees.

Section 227 of the Act states that the Planning and Land Authority shall keep a register of applications, approvals, orders and lease and development conditions. During office hours a person may inspect the register and make copies of, or take extracts from, the register or any part of a document relevant to an application.

The current fee schedule relating to this service only provides for copies to be made available in paper form. 

This new fee will allow for copies of documents from the public register to be made available in electronic format on disk. This will make documents from the register more accessible and affordable to the public and will also reduce printing costs for reproducing documents from the register.  

The fee determined by this instrument is payable to the ACT Government by the person(s) requesting this particular service.

The fees shall apply from the date of notification of this instrument to 30 June 2005 (GST inclusive).
