Planning and Subdivision Fees Review

The Planning and Environment (Fees) Regulations 2000 and the Subdivision (Permit & Certification Fees) Regulations 2000 set fees for a number of planning services, such as making an application for a planning permit or obtaining a planning certificate or subdividing land. These regulations are due to expire in 2010 and a project has begun to review the fees.

The Department commissioned Access Economics to plan, develop and prepare a study and Regulatory Impact Statements (RIS) for new regulations. The review will explore a number of issues including:

  • planning and subdivision activities and services for which fees should be recovered
  • appropriate level of cost recovery
  • the cost of delivering planning and subdivision activities and services (direct and indirect costs)
  • the alternative and recommended models for prescribing fees; and
  • the appropriate fees.
The project will inform the preparation of the revised planning and subdivision fees regulations and regulatory impact statements.

Consultation with relevant stakeholders, both internal and external to government, is vital to the review and there will be engagement opportunities throughout the project.
