Planning and Development (Fees) Determination 2008 (No 4)
Disallowable Instrument DI2008-165
made under the
Planning and Development Act 2007, s 424 (Determination of fees)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Planning and Development Act 2007 is an Act about planning and development in the ACT.  

Section 424 of the Act provides the Minister with the power to determine fees.  

The purpose of this determination is to revoke Disallowable Instruments DI 2008-43 and DI2008-57 that set fees for part of the 2007-08 financial year and to determine fees for the 2008-09 financial year.

In general the fees determined for the 2008-09 financial year represent the 2007-08 financial year fees increased in accordance with the Consumer Price Index March 2008 quarter annualised estimate of 4.2%.  Appropriate rounding has occurred in relation to the increases.

Fees previously determined with respect to amending a Development Application (DA), or to amending an approved DA (both within the provisions of Chapter 7, Part 7.3 of the Act) have been revised in order to link the fee charged more explicitly with the complexity of the DA.

The fees take effect on 1 July 2008.

The determination under section 424 of the Act is a disallowable instrument.
