Australian Capital Territory
Environment Protection (Fees) Determination 2008 (No 2)
Disallowable Instrument DI2008-230
made under the
Environment Protection Act 1997, section 165 (Determination of fees etc)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 165 of the Environment Protection Act 1997 (the Act) permits the Minister to determine fees for the Act.

This determination revokes the previous fee determination (DI2008 – 148) that had set fees from 1 July 2008.  This new instrument commences on the day after its notification on the ACT Legislation Register.

This determination decreases the annual authorisation fee for the storage of petroleum products where the design storage capacity is from 50 cubic metres to 5,000 cubic metres from the former fee of $959.57 to a new fee of $599.59.  This fee is found in Schedule 2 of the determination and relates to Item 1.2(30) of schedule 1 of the Act.  It was decided to reduce this fee after consideration of comparable fees charged in other Australian jurisdictions.

All other fees remain the same as the previous fee determination.
