Fee Units
These Regulations provide for fees by reference to fee units within the meaning of the Monetary Units Act 2004.

The value of a fee unit for future financial years is to be fixed by the Treasurer under section 5 of the Monetary Units Act 2004. The value of a fee unit for a financial year must be published in the Government Gazette and a Victorian newspaper before 1 June in the preceding financial year.
