Nature Conservation (Fees) Determination 2014 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI2014-2
made under the
Nature Conservation Act 1980, section 139 – Determination of fees

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 139 of the Nature Conservation Act 1980 permits the Minister to determine fees for the purposes of the Act.

The purpose of this determination is to revoke Disallowable Instrument DI 2013-157 which set fees for the 2013-14 financial year and to replace it with a new fees determination to correct a drafting error in the original determination.

This instrument waives the payment of daily entry fees to the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve on Australia Day (26 January 2014), Tidbinbilla Extravaganza (planned for April 2014) and entry fee payable by pedestrians and cyclist.  

Fee waivers for 2013-14 
1)	Entry fee payable by pedestrian (annual and day pass)
2)	Entry fee payable by cyclist (annual and day pass)

The fees determined for the 2013-14 financial year represent the 2012-13 financial year fees increased in accordance with ACT Treasury’s inflation factor of 3.25%.  Appropriate rounding has occurred in relation to the increases.

The fees take effect on 1 January 2014.

The determination under section 139 of the Act is a Disallowable Instrument.
