EXPLANATORY NOTE

The object of this Regulation is to amend the Land and Environment Court (Fees) Regulation to provide a filing fee of $65 for initiating proceedings in the Class 3 jurisdiction of the Land and Environment Court where the matter is an appeal, reference or other matter that may be heard and disposed of by that Court in relation to the Crown Lands Act 1989, the Western Lands Act 1901, the Crown and Other Roads Act 1990, the Water Act 1912 or the Crown Lands (Continued Tenures) Act 1989.

At present, the filing fee is $440 but this is considered inappropriate as many of the appeals, references or other matters lodged pursuant to these Acts involve small sums of money.
