Australian Capital Territory
Planning and Development (Fees) Determination 2011 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI 2011-177
made under the
Planning and Development Act 2007, s 424 (Determination of fees)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The purpose of the Planning and Development Act 2007 relates to planning and development in the ACT and other purposes.

Section 424 of the Act provides the Minister with the power to determine fees.

The purpose of this determination is to revoke Disallowable Instrument DI 2010-128 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 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.

A small number of fees have also been introduced or revised within the current Development Application structure to help further streamline the Development Application (DA) process. In particular, fees for a DA submitted for a completeness check that requires resubmission due to failure.

A new license fee has also been included to allow for the use of Territory land to locate secure storage waste enclosures – the license fee is set at nil.

The fees take effect on 1 July 2011.

The determination under section 424 of the Act is a Disallowable Instrument.
