(1) A review of fees and charges in 2010 addressed levels of cost recovery and standardisation of charges for similar services. Note, a review of fees and charges was conducted in 2008 as fees and charges had not allowed for CPI increases since 2004. Price increases reflected the accumulated annual CPI growth for 06-07, 07-08 and 08-09.
