Nature Conservation (Fees) Determination 2009 (No 2)
Disallowable Instrument DI2009—153
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 purpose of this instrument is to correct the commencement date in DI 2009-108, also known as the Nature Conservation (Fees) Determination 2009 (No 1) (the former fee determination), which commenced on 1 July 2009.

The former fee determination inadvertently commenced entry fees for the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve (TNR) from 1 July 2009.  The commencement date for these fees should have been 1 August 2009.  This instrument corrects that error, by clarifying that part 3 of the schedule, which sets out the TNR entry fees, commences on 1 August 2009.  In the interim, no entry fees have been collected at TNR.

The opportunity has also been taken to correct references to the schedule to the instrument that appeared in sections 4 and 5 of the former fee determination.  The remainder of the instrument does not differ from the former fee determination.  There are no changes to the amounts of the fees set by the former fee determination.

This instrument commences upon notification, at which time the former fee determination is revoked.
