Boxing Control (Fees) Determination 2010 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI2010—131
made under the
Boxing Control Act 1993, section 20 – Determination of fees

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 20 of the Boxing Control Act 1993 permits the Minister to determine fees for the purposes of the Act.

This determination revokes the previous fee determination (DI 1994—79) that came into effect on 1 June 1994.  The determination establishes revised fees from 1 July 2010.

Fees under the Act have not changed since 1994.  The fees have been revised, having regard to the cumulative increase in the Consumer Price Index between 1994 and 2006 (39%) together with the cumulative increase in the Wage Price Index since that time in line with the Government’s announcement, made as part of the 2006-07 ACT Budget, on the indexing of government fees and charges (12%).  The increased fees were rounded down to the nearest 5 cents.

As a result, the application fee for approvals to conduct professional boxing contests increases from $80.00 to $124.50 and the corresponding fee for amateur contests increases from $20.00 to $31.10.  The application fee for approvals for women to engage in a professional boxing contest remains nil.

The determination takes effect on 1 July 2010.
