Australian Capital Territory
Animal Diseases (Fees) Determination 2015 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI2015 - 74
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 (DI2014–167) that set fees for the 2014-2015 financial year and establishes fees from 1 July 2015.

The determination only sets a fee for the issuing of National Livestock Identification System (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 2015.
