Legislative Assembly Precincts (Licence Fees) Determination 2012

Disallowable instrument DI2012-33

made under the 

Legislative Assembly Precincts Act 2001, section 11A (Determination of Fees)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Legislative Assembly Precincts Act 2001 (the Precincts Act) enables the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly to grant licences to persons to use parts of the Legislative Assembly building.

Section 11A of the Precincts Act provides the Speaker with the power to determine fees for the purposes of the Act. This instrument sets fees for the use of facilities within the Legislative Assembly building, which were prescribed in Legislative Assembly Precincts (Licence Fees) Determination 2009 (DI2009-10).

There has been no adjustment to the fees since DI2009-10 was made. The fees in this instrument reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index (7.5%) since March 2009 to September 2011, rounded as appropriate. The hourly rate for security reflect changes to the ACT Public Service rates of pay, and is based on August 2011 rates. A comparison of the changes to fees is listed below.

The fees take effect on the day after notification on the ACT Legislation Register.

The determination under section 11A of the Precincts Act is a disallowable instrument.
