Water Resources (Fees) Determination 2010 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI2010-144
made under the
Water Resources Act 2007, section 107 – Determination of fees

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 107 of the Water Resources Act 2007 (the Act) permits the Minister to determine fees for the purposes of the Act. 

This determination revokes the previous fee determination (DI2009–109) that set fees for the 2009-2010 financial year, and establishes fees from 1 July 2010.

The determination:
•	increases most fees in accordance with the Wage Price Index estimate for 2010-11 of 3.50%, consistent with the Government’s announcement, made as part of the 2006-07 ACT Budget, on the indexing of government fees and charges; and
•	inserts two new application fees for the acquisition and disposal of  transferrable water access entitlements either permanently or for a period of time. These new fees are required as a result of the introduction of interstate water trading.

The increased fees are rounded down to the nearest 5 cents.

This determination takes effect from 1 July 2010.
