Planning and Environment Act 1987

The Governor in Council may make regulations prescribing fees for—

planning certificates; and

certificates relating to growth areas infrastructure contributions issued under Subdivision 5 of Division 2 of Part 9B; and

any matter relating to a function or duty performed by the Registrar of Titles under Part 9B; and

considering applications for permits; and

considering applications for certificates of compliance; and

amendments to planning schemes including but not limited to—

considering proposals for amendment; and

any stage in the amendment process; and

considering whether or not to approve the amendment; and

giving notice of permit applications; and

determining whether anything has been done to the satisfaction of a responsible authority, Minister, public authority, municipal council or a referral authority; and

providing maps showing the location of boundaries in a planning scheme; and

any other thing for which fees are authorised or required to be prescribed under this Act.

A regulation under subsection (1) may—

prescribe different fees for different cases or classes of cases; and

prescribe composite fees payable to the responsible authority for consideration of applications by responsible authorities and referral authorities; and

require a responsible authority to give referral authorities the fees collected on their behalf; and

empower the Minister, or a planning authority or responsible authority to waive or rebate the payment of a fee in specified circumstances.

Despite anything in the regulations a planning authority does not have to pay a fee to itself in relation to an amendment of a planning scheme.
