Domestic Animals (Fees) Determination 2007 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI 2007- 157
made under the
Domestic Animals Act 2000, Section 144 - Determination of Fees

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 144 of the Domestic Animals Act 2000 (the Act) allows for the Minister to determine fees for the Act. 

This determination revokes the previous fee determination (DI 2006-97) 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 Registrar of Domestic Animals may waive or refund a fee payable.  The refund amounts as set out in Schedule 2 of the instrument have also been adjusted in accordance with the current wage price index for Canberra.

The new fee determination takes effect on from 1 July 2007.
