Illustration for Offshore Renewable Energy Bill

The Governor-General can make rules about fees and levies for people who have permits under this proposed law. You might have to pay a levy if you have a permit, and the rules will say who has to pay and how much they have to pay. The rules can also say how the levy is calculated and when it has to be paid. You might have to pay fees for things like applying for a permit or asking for something to be done under this proposed law. The rules can say how much the fees are and how they are calculated. The Governor-General can make rules about waiving, discounting, or refunding levies or fees in certain cases. If you want to know more about how these rules are published, you can check out Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
