Australian Capital Territory
Animal Diseases (Fees) Determination 2014 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI2014-167
made under the
Animal Diseases Act 2005, Section 88 – Determination of fees

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 88 of the Animal Diseases Act 2005 (the Act) permits the Minister to determine fees for the purposes of the Act.

This determination revokes the previous fee determination (DI 2013–75) that set fees for the 2013-2014 financial year and establishes fees from 1 July 2014.

The determination only sets a fee for the issuing of NLIS devices (as defined in the Animal Diseases Regulation 2006) in emergency circumstances.  In normal circumstances the issuing and recording of NLIS devices is a commercial transaction between the supplier of the device and the person requiring the device and no fee is required to be set under the Act.

The determination increases fees by 4% taking into consideration rounding for cash handling purposes.

The determination takes effect on 1 July 2014.
