made under the
Nature Conservation Act 1980, section 139 – Determination of fees

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 139 of the Nature Conservation Act 1980 permits the Minister to determine fees for the purposes of the Act.

This determination revokes the previous fee determination DI2007 – 142 that set fees for the 2007-2008 financial year and establishes fees from 1 July 2008.

The determination increases fees in accordance with the Wage Price Index estimate for 2008-09 of 4.25%, consistent with the Government’s announcement, made as part of the 2006-07 ACT Budget, on the indexing of government fees and charges.  The increased fees are rounded down to the nearest 5 cents.

The determination takes effect on from 1 July 2008.
