2—Preamble relating to new fee structure applicable from 1 July 2005

From 1 July 2005, the periodic fees payable by aquaculture licence holders are payable each financial year (rather than each calendar year).

3—Proportion of periodic fee payable before grant of licence

A person who applies for an aquaculture licence must, before the licence is granted, pay to the Minister a fee of an amount calculated by multiplying—

            (a)         the periodic fee that would have been payable by the person had the person held the licence at the last date for payment of periodic fees; and

            (b)         the proportion that the number of whole months between the grant of the licence and the next 30 June bears to 12 months.

4—Transitional arrangements for period between 1 January 2005 and 30 June 2005

        (1)         An aquaculture licence holder authorised under the licence to carry on aquaculture in an area held under an aquaculture lease must, before the payment date fixed by the Minister by written notice given to the licence holder, pay to the Minister, in respect of the period between 1 January 2005 and 30 June 2005, a fee of the following amount:

            (a)         for a licence to farm tuna—the amount obtained by multiplying $37.73 by the number of hectares in the licence area;

            (b)         for a licence to farm finfish other than tuna—the amount obtained by multiplying $73.14 by the number of hectares in the licence area;

            (c)         for a licence to farm abalone—the amount obtained by multiplying $69.27 by the number of hectares in the licence area;

            (d)         for a licence to farm molluscs other than abalone—the amount obtained by multiplying $166.01 by the number of hectares in the licence area;

            (e)         for a licence to farm algae—the amount obtained by multiplying $33.23 by the number of hectares in the licence area;

            (f)         for a licence authorising the storage of sea cages—the amount obtained by multiplying $33.23 by the number of hectares in the licence area.

        (2)         If 2 or more licences are held in respect of the same area—

            (a)         the licence holder is only liable for 1 fee under subclause (1); and

            (b)         the fee payable is the higher or highest of the fees that would be payable under subclause (1) but for this subclause.

        (3)         An aquaculture licence holder authorised under the licence to carry on aquaculture in an area not held under an aquaculture lease must, before the payment date fixed by the Minister by written notice given to the licence holder, pay to the Minister, in respect of the period between 1 January 2005 and 30 June 2005, a fee of the following amount:

            (a)         for an aquaculture licence classified by the Minister (by virtue of the low level of intensity of farming to be carried on under the licence) as a class A licence—$92.92;

            (b)         for an aquaculture licence classified by the Minister (by virtue of the medium level of intensity of farming to be carried on under the licence) as a class B licence—$115.36;

            (c)         for an aquaculture licence classified by the Minister (by virtue of the high level of intensity of farming to be carried on under the licence) as a class C licence—

                  (i)         in the case of a licence designated by the Minister as being for a mobile farming arrangement—$1 128.00;

                  (ii)         in any other case—$1 372.00.

        (4)         In the case of an aquaculture licence granted on or after 1 January 2005 but before the payment date referred to in this regulation, the periodic fee payable by the licence holder under this regulation is reduced to an amount calculated by multiplying—

            (a)         the periodic fee that would be payable but for this subclause; and

            (b)         the proportion that the number of whole months between the grant of the licence and 30 June 2005 bears to 6 months.

        (5)         If it is proposed to grant an aquaculture licence to a person on or after the payment date referred to in this regulation but before 1 July 2005, the person must (instead of paying a fee of an amount fixed by clause 3) pay to the Minister a fee of an amount calculated by multiplying—

            (a)         the periodic fee that would have been payable by the person under subclause (1) or (3) had the person held the licence at that payment date; and

            (b)         the proportion that the number of whole months between the grant of the licence and 30 June 2005 bears to 6 months.
