Tasmania regulation
These regulations implement practical details of the Neighbourhood Disputes About Plants Act: they set the commencement date, define key officeholders, prescribe a $500 maximum for severing overhanging branches, fix specific fees (expressed in fee units) for appeals, completion orders, variations and database searches, and require notices to use a form approved by the Registrar or Secretary. They affect neighbours and applicants to the Tribunal by specifying who pays, how much, and which office decides acceptable notice forms.
