NATURE CONSERVATION (PROTECTED AREAS MANAGEMENT) REGULATION 2017 - REG 159AR

159AR Reduced additional daily fee for commercial activity or organised event permits if equivalent fee paid under another Act

(1) This section applies if—

(a) the holder of a commercial activity permit, other than for filming or photography, or of an organised event permit (the
"NCA permit" ), or a relevant person for the holder, conducts the activity authorised under the permit in the protected area to which the permit applies and 1 or more of the following areas—

(i) a forest reserve that was, immediately before its dedication as a forest reserve, a State forest under the Forestry Act 1959 ;

(ii) a recreation area under the Recreation Areas Management Act 2006 ;

(iii) a State forest under the Forestry Act 1959 ; and

(b) the activity is conducted for the same clients in the forest reserve, recreation area or State forest under an equivalent permit (however called) under another Act; and

(c) the holder or relevant person has paid a daily fee (however called) for conducting the activity under the equivalent permit.

(2) The additional daily fee payable under the Act for conducting the activity under the NCA permit is reduced by the amount of the daily fee paid for conducting the activity under the equivalent permit.

(3) To remove any doubt, it is declared that a reduction under subsection (2) may result in the additional daily fee payable under the Act being nil.

Example—

The holder of a commercial activity permit conducts a commercial tour lasting more than 3 hours for 10 clients in the Glass House Mountains National Park and Bribie Island Recreation Area. The holder has paid a daily fee equivalent to 3.80 fee units for each client under the Recreation Areas Management Act 2006 for conducting the tour in the recreation area under a commercial activity permit under that Act.
The additional daily fee payable under the Act for conducting the commercial tour in the national park under the commercial activity permit is nil, being the additional daily fee stated in schedule 7A for conducting the tour (3.80 fee units for each client) reduced by the daily fee paid under the Recreation Areas Management Act 2006 for conducting the tour in the Bribie Island Recreation Area under a commercial activity permit under that Act (also 3.80 fee units for each client).

(4) In this section—

"daily fee" does not include a fee payable for camping overnight.
