Disallowable instrument DI2010–41
made under the 
Dangerous Goods (Road Transport) Act 2009, section 194 (Determination of fees)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT 

Section 194 of the Dangerous Goods (Road Transport) Act 2009 allows the Minister to determine fees payable for services and other matters under that Act.  
This determination is a disallowable instrument and must be presented to the Legislative Assembly within 6 sitting days after its notification pursuant to section 64 of the Legislation Act 2001.  
This determination sets out the fees payable in relation to things or services provided by the competent authority to persons involved in the transportation of dangerous goods by road.  

The fees relate to:
•	applications for approval of a packaging design (clause 4);
•	applications for approval of a segregation device, and for reinspecting segregation devices that are refused approval (clause 5);
•	applications for exemptions, administrative determinations and approvals (clause 6);
•	applications for the issue or renewal of a dangerous goods driver licence, or the issue of a replacement licence (clause 7); and
•	applications for the issue or renewal of a dangerous goods vehicle licence, the issue of a replacement licence or reinspection of a vehicle that has been refused a licence (clause 8).

Under clause 9, a fee that is under the determination is payable by the applicant for the thing or service to the Territory.
The fees under this determination have been calculated to reflect the average amount of time needed for appropriately qualified staff of the competent authority to examine or review things (including any vehicles, equipment or documents) that are relevant to an application and to make decisions in light of any applicable provisions of the Dangerous Goods (Road Transport) Act 2009, the regulations for that Act and the Australian Dangerous Goods Code.
