EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Casino Control Act 2006 (the Act) regulates the operation of the casino in the Territory. 

This instrument revokes the determination of fees made by Disallowable Instrument DI2010-104 notified on the Legislation Register on 17 June 2010.

Section 143 of the Act provides that the Minister may determine fees for the Act.  This instrument provides for fees in relation to administrative tasks performed under the Act, including matters relating to the casino licence and applications for casino employee’s licences and variations to these licences.

This instrument increases fees in accordance with the Wage Price Index estimates for 2011-12 of 3.5%.  Rounding to the nearest dollar has occurred in relation to the increases.  A comparative table indicating the previous and revised fees is included as an attachment to this Explanatory Statement.

The list of revised fees contained in this instrument is identical to the list of fees in the Disallowable Instrument DI2010-104.

All fees are exempt from GST under Division 81 of the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cwlth).

The Determination of fees is a disallowable instrument and must be tabled in the Legislative Assembly.
