You have to pay these fees for the whole time you have the permit. The fees are decided by the authorisation you got or by regulations made under section 307(c). If you have a water permit to take or use geothermal energy, you must also pay fees to the regional council for the Crown. You pay these fees for the whole time you have the permit. The fees are decided by regulations made under section 307(c).
