made under the
Animal Welfare Act 1992, Section 110 – Determination of fees

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 110 of the Animal Welfare Act 1992 (the Act) permits the Minister to determine fees for the purposes of the Act.

This determination revokes the previous fee determination (DI 2011–118) that set fees for the 2011-2012 financial year and establishes fees from 1 July 2012.

This determination increases fees in accordance with the Wage Price Index estimate for 2012-13 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 for cash handling purposes.

The determination takes effect on 1 July 2012.
