State Concessions Act 2004

The Minister, by Order published in the Government Gazette, may determine concessions in relation to user costs payable under an Act or otherwise by eligible persons or a class or classes of eligible persons.

If a concession order relates to a user cost payable under an Act, before making the concession order under subsection (1), the Minister must consult with the Minister administering the provision of the Act under which the user cost is payable.

A concession order may be expressed—

as a pro rata reduction of the user cost to which it applies; or

as an amount payable in respect of, or to be deducted from, the user cost to which it applies in relation to a particular period; or

in any other manner.

Without limiting the subject matter or content of a concession order, a concession order may—

be of general or limited application;

differ according to differences in time, place or circumstance;

be expressed to apply subject to specified conditions;

specify the manner in which an application for the granting of a concession in relation to a particular user cost may be made;

apply in relation to a class or classes of eligible persons specified in the order.

A concession order takes effect—

on the date that the concession order is published in the Government Gazette; or

if a later date is specified in the concession order, on that later date.
