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 2011-177 which set fees for the 2011-12 financial year and to determine fees for the 2012-13 financial year.

The majority of fees determined for the 2012-13 financial year represent the 2011-12 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 new fee has been included for clarification relating to requests for Section 211 exemption from requiring the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement.

A new fee has also been added for the use of unleased Territory Land for community gardens. 

The fees take effect on 1 July 2012.

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