Australian Capital Territory
Heritage (Register Fees) Determination 2007 (No 1)
Disallowable instrument DI2007– 141
made under the  
Heritage Act 2004, s 120 (Determination of Fees)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 120 of the Heritage Act 2004 provides the Minister with the power to determine fees for the purposes of the Act.

This determination revokes the previous fee determination (DI 2006-220) 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. 

The three tailored search fees set out in DI 2006-220 (which were for the same amount) have been consolidated into a single fee in this determination.  Tailored searches of the register may include searches by ownership, type of place, theme or other factors.  All searches of entries containing restricted information are treated as tailored searches.

The new fee determination takes effect on 1 July 2007.
