This Act requires companies holding licences under the Ozone Protection Act 1989 that manufacture specified ozone‑depleting chemicals to pay quarterly fees to the Australian Government. Fee amounts and rates are set by separate regulations; halons manufactured before the first halon quota period are exempt. Licences covering only part of a quarter still incur the full quarterly fee. The scheme funds control and monitoring of ozone‑depleting substance production.
