made under the
Water and Sewerage Act 2000, s 45 (Determination of fees)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Water and Sewerage Act 2000 is an Act to make provision in relation to the supply of plumbing or sanitary drainage services.

Section 45 of the Act provides the Minister with the power to determine fees.  

The purpose of this determination is to revoke Disallowable Instrument DI 2007 - 154 that set fees for the 2007-2008 financial year and to replace it with a new determination.

The new determination exempts from the payment of a fee an application lodged with the occupations registrar under the Water and Sewerage Act 2000 for a start of work notice relating to minor works involving the replacement of a toilet or toilets to a single residential building as defined by the Water and Sewerage Act 2000 where the work is part of the ACT Government Dual Flush Toilet Rebate Program and other conditions are met. 

The fees determined are otherwise unchanged from those determined in Disallowable Instrument DI 2007 – 154.

The determination under section 45 of the Act is a disallowable instrument.
