EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Water and Sewerage Act 2000 is an Act to make provision in relation to the supply of plumbing or sanitary drainage services.

Section 45 of the Act provides the Minister with the power to determine fees.  

The purpose of this determination is to revoke Disallowable Instrument DI 2009 - 125 that set fees for 2009-10 financial year and to determine fees for the 2010-11 financial year.

The existing fees determined for the 2010-11 financial year predominately represent the 2009-10 financial year fees increased in accordance with ACT Treasury’s inflation factor of 3.5% (2010/11 Budget Paper No 3.).  Appropriate rounding has occurred in relation to the increases.

The fees take effect on 1 July 2010.

The determination under section 45 of the Act is a disallowable instrument.
