Bunbury Port Authority Amendment Regulations 1996

Delegated Legislation Joint Committee (1987 - 2001)· 7 November 1996general_report

The WA Parliamentary Delegated Legislation Joint Committee reviewed the Bunbury Port Authority Amendment Regulations 1996, focusing on a 25% increase in the Outer Harbour Port Infrastructure Charge. The committee believes the increase is akin to an unauthorized tax and the Authority lacks power to waive the fee. They will withdraw their disallowance motion if the Minister addresses the issues and introduces remedial legislation in the next Parliament.

Impact

The Bunbury Port Authority, users of the port (potentially impacting businesses relying on the port), and potentially other government agencies charging fees for services are affected. The broader implications relate to taxation and fee structures for government services.
