Scaffolding and Lifts (Fees) Determination 2005
Disallowable Instrument DI 2005-145
made under the
Scaffolding and Lifts Act 1912, Part 5, Section 21 – Determination of fees

Explanatory Statement

The Scaffolding and Lifts Act 1912 regulates scaffolding, lifts, cranes, building, excavation and compressed air work in the ACT.

Section 21 of the Act provides the Minister for Industrial Relations with the power to determine fees for the purposes of the Act.

This instrument revokes the previous determination of fees instrument DI2004-145, that set fees for the 2004-2005 financial year and determines the new fees for the 2005-2006 financial year.  The fees have been adjusted based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of 2.25%.  The CPI was derived by the Department of Treasury in its Economic conditions forecasts (see page 61 of 2005-2006 Budget Paper 3).

The fees take effect from 1 July 2005.

The determination under section 21 is a disallowable instrument.
