Explanatory note

Regulation) so as to alter certain fees payable under the Forestry Act 1916. The current fee structure for contractors’ licences and operators’ licences reflect the payment of fees for periods of 3, 6, 9 or 12 months. The new fee structure for those licences will extend up to 5 years. In addition, the new licence fees for contractors will differentiate between those contractors that are corporations and those who are not corporations. Hunting licences are now issued under the Game and Feral Animal Control Act 2002. Accordingly, the fee for hunting permits under the Principal Regulation has been omitted from the schedule of fees to that Regulation and consequential amendments made to that Regulation.	The object of this Regulation is to amend the Forestry Regulation 2004 (the Principal regulation-making power) and, in particular, section 41 (1) (b), (f) and (n).
