FEE UNITS

These Regulations amend the Marine Regulations 1999 to provide for fees by reference to fee units established under the Monetary Units Act 2004.  The amount of the fee is to be calculated, in accordance with section 7 of that Act, by multiplying the number of fee units applicable by the value of a fee unit.

The value of a fee unit for the financial year commencing on 1 July 2004, is $10.23.  The amount of the calculated fee may be rounded to the nearest 10 cents.

The value of a fee unit for the financial year commencing 1 July 2005, is $10.49.  The amount of the calculated fee may be rounded to the nearest 10 cents.

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.
