Division 4—Miscellaneous fees relating to environmental authorisations 37—Late application for renewal (section 43(4)) For the purposes of section 43(4) of the Act, the fee for late application for renewal of an environmental authorisation is $300 or 5% of the authorisation fee (whichever is higher) payable on renewal for each month (or part of a month) for which the application is late. 38—Renewal without application (section 43(6)) If an environmental authorisation under which activities continue to be undertaken is renewed under section 43(6) of the Act (without application), the holder of the authorisation must pay the Authority the authorisation fee that would have been payable under section 43(5) of the Act had the authorisation been renewed on application. 39—Conditions requiring approval of certain works and processes (section 54C) (1) The prescribed fee payable for an application for an approval required by conditions of an environmental authorisation imposed under section 54C(2) of the Act in relation to— (a) the construction or alteration of a building or structure, or the installation or alteration of plant or equipment, for use for an activity carried on under the authorisation (works); or (b) a change in process undertaken under the authorisation, is the number of fee units determined according to the cost of the works or change in process estimated by the Authority as follows:
Estimated cost of works or change in process Up to and including $10 000 More than $10 000 but not more than $50 000 More than $50 000 but not more than $500 000 More than $500 000 but not more than $5 million More than $5 million but not more than $50 million More than $50 million (2) If the application relates to both works and a change in process, the prescribed fee payable for the application will be determined as if separate applications had been made, 1 in relation to the works and the other in relation to the change in process. (3) In this regulation, a reference to the estimated cost of works is a reference to the amount estimated to be the total cost of the works to which the application relates excluding any part of the costs determined by the Authority to be attributable to— (a) the purchase of land; or (b) building or other work that will not contribute directly or substantially to the prescribed activity of environmental significance to which the application relates.
