Scaffolding and Lifts (Fees) Revocation and Determination 2003

Disallowable Instrument DI 2003-175
made under the
Scaffolding and Lifts Act 1912, Part 5, Section 21 – Determination of fees

Explanatory Statement

The Scaffolding and Lifts Act 1912 regulates scaffolding, lifts, cranes, building, excavation and compressed air work in the ACT.

Section 21 of the Act provides the Minister for Industrial Relations with the power to determine fees for the purposes of the Act.

This instrument revokes the previous determination of fees instrument DI2002-120, that set fees for the 2002-2003 financial year and determines the new fees for the 2003-2004 financial year.  The fees have been adjusted based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of 2.5%.  The CPI was derived by the Department of Treasury in its Economic conditions forecasts (see page 52 of 2003-2004 Budget Paper 3).

The fees take effect from 1 July 2003.

The determination under section 21 is a disallowable instrument.
