Explanatory Note

This note is not part of the amendment notice and has been included to explain its general effect.

This amendment notice amends some fees and the disciplinary levy prescribed by the board in the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board (Fees) Notice 2010, and establishes three new fees.

The amendments regarding the disciplinary levy and the offences fee are made as a result of acting on a recommendation to review the disciplinary levy made by the Regulations Review Committee in its February 2011 report (Report I.16I) entitled \"Complaints regarding three notices issued by the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board on 25 March 2010 and the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board (Fees) Notice 2010\".

Some further amendments have been made to address some other outstanding matters.

The changes are as follows:

The disciplinary levy is reduced from $266.00 (excluding the GST increase which came into effect on 1 October 2010) to $175.00. The costs of prosecutions, which were misallocated, have been removed from the disciplinary levy.
