Land (Planning and Environment) (Fees) Determination 2005 (No 2)
Disallowable instrument DI2005–265
made under the  
Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991, s 287 (Determination of fees)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Land (Planning and Environment) Regulation was recently amended to allow cellular mobile phone networks to be treated as ‘reticulated services’.  This means that a mobile phone network plan can be submitted for adoption, as an Authority Guideline by the Chief Planning Executive.  Once adopted, all development in accordance with the network plan is exempt from Part 6 of the Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991 (i.e. no development approvals will be required).

The two proposed fees to be charged for the adoption of the network plans are:
(a)	New application for initial network plan is to be charged as $14,000.00 plus $200.00 per site;
(b)	Update initial network plan is to be charged as $7,000.00 plus $200.00 per site that is being updated.	

The reason for the creation of the fees is to recover the administrative costs.
