Illustration for Maritime Transport Act 1994

You can be charged fees by a regional council for using their property for maritime purposes. The council can charge you for using their land, buildings, or equipment for things like ships or marine farms. They can also charge you for services they provide, like helping with navigation. You might be charged differently depending on things like the size of your ship or where it is located. The council can decide how much to charge you based on these factors. The council gets to decide how much you pay, and they can charge you for various maritime-related activities or for navigation in general.
