EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The regulatory framework for the management and operation of public pools in the Territory is now provided under the Public Pools Act 2015 (the Act).  Section 60 of the Act repeals the Public Baths and Public Bathing (Active Leisure Centre Fees) Determination 2014 - DI2014-193, dated 27 June 2014 and notified on the Legislation Register on 30 June 2014.  Therefore this instrument does not revoke the previous instrument.

The Territory owns Active Leisure Centre which is administered by the ACT Education and Training Directorate.  Active Leisure Centre contains a pool facility under section 10 of the Act.  For the purposes of the Act, Active Leisure Centre is a category 1 facility under section 7 as it is owned by the Territory and open to or used by the public (whether or not on payment of money). 

Section 54 of the Act provides that the Minister may determine fees for the Act.  This instrument provides for fees in relation to use of public pool facilities under the Act. A determination under section 54 of the Act is a disallowable instrument and must be tabled in the Legislative Assembly in accordance with the Legislation Act 2001.

This instrument determines the fees for Active Leisure Centre as indicated in column 4 of the Schedule to the instrument.  The instrument commences on
1 July 2015.
