Surveyors (Fees) Determination 2010 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI2010-127
made under the
Surveyors Act 2007, s 80 (Determination of fees)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Surveyors Act 2007 is an Act to regulate the practice of land surveying, and for other purposes.

Section 80 of the Act provides the Minister with the power to determine fees.

The purpose of this determination is to revoke Disallowable Instrument DI 2009-142 that set fees for 2009-10 financial year and to determine fees for the 2010-11 financial year.

The fees determined for the 2010-11 financial year generally 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.

Fees associated with the processing of applications been unbundled to provide transparency between the application fee and the registration fee. A separate fee for processing overseas applications has been included to recognise the extra costs associated with processing these applications. In the interests of fairness a new fee for part year initial registrations has been included.

The fees take effect on 1 July 2010.

The determination under section 80 of this Act is a disallowable instrument.
