Waste Minimisation (Landfill Fees) Determination 2011 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI2011- 122
Made under the
Waste Minimisation Act 2001, Section 45 - Determination of Fees

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 45 of the Waste Minimisation Act 2001 (the Act) allows for the responsible Minister to determine waste fees for the ACT.

This determination revokes the previous fee determination (DI2010–118) that set fees for the 2010-2011 financial year and establishes new fees from 1 July 2011.

The remaining fees in the determination have been increased in accordance with the Wage Price Index (WPI) estimate for 2011-12 of 3.5%, consistent with the Government’s announcement, made as part of the 2006-07 ACT Budget, on the indexing of government fees and charges.  The increased fees are rounded down to the nearest 5 cents.

The determination takes effect on from 1 July 2011.
