Construction Occupations Licensing (Fees) Determination 2011 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI 2011-174
made under the
Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004, s 127 (Determination of fees)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The purpose of the Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004 is to regulate construction occupations and other purposes.

Section 127 of the Act provides the Minister with the power to determine fees.

The purpose of this determination is to revoke Disallowable Instruments DI 2010‑123 and DI 2010‑311, which set fees for the 2010-11 financial year and to determine fees for the 2011-12 financial year.

The majority of fees determined for the 2011-12 financial year have been determined with reference to the suite of occupational licensing fees charged across the construction and related industries.  Fees are now being set consistently across a variety of occupations ensuring comparable fees are charged for comparable levels of regulatory activity.

The remaining fees determined for the 2011-12 financial year represent the 2010-11 financial year fees increased in accordance with ACT Treasury’s inflation factor of 3.5%.  Appropriate rounding has occurred in relation to the increases.

The fees take effect on 1 July 2011.

The determination under section 127 of the Act is a Disallowable Instrument.
