50% of the fee paid for the application for approval that is proposed to be modified, or
$4,500,
whichever is the greater.
For the purposes of this clause, a minor application to modify an approval of the Panel is—
an application to correct a minor error, misdescription or miscalculation, or
an application for a modification—
that is of minimal environmental impact, and
that relates to substantial the same clearing as the clearing to which the approval sought to be modified relates.
The Native Vegetation Panel may refuse to consider an application if the fee charged is not paid within 14 days after the application was made.
