I thank the
member for some notice of the question.
(1) The fees
have been increased because previous fees for endorsement of a deposited plan
or strata survey plan were under-recovering costs.
(2) The amount
received to date for 2011–12 is $1 382 489. The budgeted revenue for
2012–13 is $1 584 000.
(3) These are
not new fees. A $25 fee was required via the text of the three region schemes
until May. The region schemes text was amended in May so that the fees could be
updated using section 20 of the Planning and Development Act 2005. Once the
region schemes amendment was gazetted, the fees had to be included in the
planning fees notice for 2011–12. The budgeted revenue for 2012–13
is $673 000.
(4) In the
review of fees and charges for 2012–13, it was established that the
Department of Planning was incurring costs for these services. The budgeted
revenue for 2012–13 is $25 000.
