Maritime Transport Act 1994

Local regulation of maritime activity - Fees and charges

33R: Fees and charges

You could also call this:

"What you have to pay the council for using maritime things"

A regional council can charge fees for things like land, buildings, and equipment they own that are used for maritime purposes. You can be charged fees for things the council does, like checking ships or helping with marine farms. The council can also charge fees for other maritime activities or for navigation in general.

The council can decide how much to charge based on different things, like the size of a ship or where a facility is located. They can charge different fees for different things, as long as they follow the rules set out in section 150(3) to (6) of the Local Government Act 2002.

The council has to make sure they are charging fees in a way that is fair and follows the rules.
