Public Trustee and Guardian (Fees) Determination 2017 (No 2)
Disallowable instrument DI2017–112
made under the 
Public Trustee and Guardian Act 1985, s 75 (Determination of fees and charges)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Minister has power to determine fees for the purposes of the Public Trustee and Guardian Act 1985.

Public Trustee and Guardian fees in the 2017–18 Financial Year will increase from fees in the previous Financial Year by an indexation of 2% and rounded to an appropriate value.

Item numbers, included in the schedule, column 2, enable the comparison of past fees set under the Act with those set by this instrument. 

The instrument contains further explanatory notes about the hourly rate and fees for each item in the past Financial Year.

Section 5 repeals the Public Trustee and Guardian (Fees) Determination 2017 DI2017-96 retrospectively to correct an administrative error in relation to the commencement as the fees should have commenced on 1 July 2017.  This repeal means that DI2017-96 was never effective. This is a non-prejudicial provision as the fees under DI2016-252 are less than the fees that would have applied under DI2017-96.

Section 6 repeals the Public Trustee and Guardian (Fees) Determination 2016 (No 2) DI2016‑252 on 1 July 2017.
