The Department is committed to a user-pay system that ensures fairness and transparency throughout the code amendment process.
As of 2 April 2024, fees for code amendments have changed. Previously, all code amendments were charged a flat fee. The new fee structure is scaled to reflect the complexity of each proposed code amendment and ensure that users only pay for the services they receive. Simple amendments will attract a lower fee, while more complex amendments will attract a higher fee.
The matrix below is used to assess each proposal and ensure that fees are equitable and proportionate to the complexity of the code amendment.
