The minimum fees prescribed in Schedule 2 of the Building Regulations 2012 will increase by 7 per cent on 1 July 2019 for the 2019–20 year.  A list of the current minimum fees and the new minimum fees is in the table below.

This increase in fees is the result of a review undertaken by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety at the request of the Parliament’s Joint Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation.  The review analysed information on costs provided by a representative sample of five local government permit authorities.
