Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What it does: This short amendment tidies up the fee rules for permits to harvest living resources (like fish) from Australia's continental shelf.

Key changes:

Simplifies the fee rule: It removes a conditional clause ('Subject to sub-regulation (3)') from Regulation 13 and deletes sub-regulation (3) entirely, making the fee provision apply more directly without exceptions.
Removes a fee category: It deletes item 5 from the Schedule (likely removing a specific fee or exemption).
Timing: The changes took effect retrospectively from 1 January 1975.

Who it affects: Businesses or individuals applying for permits to exploit living natural resources on Australia's continental shelf under the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Act.

Why it matters: It streamlines the fee structure by removing a qualifying condition, likely ensuring fees apply more uniformly or removing an outdated exemption.
