Division 2Fee reductions52Reduced application fee for organised event permits and commercial activity permits and agreements if equivalent fee paid under another Act(1)This section applies to an application for an organised event permit, commercial activity permit or commercial activity agreement (a RAM application) if—(a)the organised event or commercial activity for which the permit or agreement is sought is to be conducted in—(i)a recreation area; and(ii)1 or more of the following—(A)a forest reserve that was, immediately before its dedication as a forest reserve, a State forest under the Forestry Act 1959;(B)a protected area under the Nature Conservation Act 1992;(C)a State forest under the Forestry Act 1959; and
(b)the applicant has also made an application for an authority (however called) for conducting the activity in the forest reserve, protected area or State forest (a related application); and(c)the applicant has paid an application fee (however called) for the related application; and(d)the chief executive is satisfied the RAM application and related application can be considered together.
Example—A person applies for a commercial activity permit for conducting a commercial tour that is to be conducted in the Fraser Island Recreation Area and Noosa National Park.The day before the application was made the person applied, under the Nature Conservation Act 1992, for a commercial activity permit for conducting the tour in Noosa National Park and the chief executive has not started considering that application under that Act.(2)The chief executive may waive all or part of the application fee payable under schedule 2 for the RAM application.(3)However, if the application fee payable for the RAM application is higher than the application fee paid for the related application, the chief executive can waive only an amount equivalent to the application fee paid for the related application.53Reduced permit fee for commercial activity permits if equivalent fee paid under another Act(1)This section applies if—(a)the chief executive waives all or part of the application fee payable for an application for a commercial activity permit under section 52; and(b)the holder of the permit has paid a permit fee (however called) for the authority mentioned in section 52(1)(b) (the equivalent authority).
(2)The chief executive must also waive—(a)if the permit fee paid for the equivalent authority is the same or higher than the permit fee stated in schedule 2 for the commercial activity permit—the permit fee for the commercial activity permit; or(b)if the permit fee paid for the equivalent authority is lower than the permit fee stated in schedule 2 for the commercial activity permit—the amount of the permit fee for the commercial activity permit that is equivalent to the permit fee paid for the equivalent authority.
54Reduced application fee for transfer of particular commercial activity permits if equivalent fee paid under another Act(1)This section applies to an application to transfer a joint permission permit under part 4, division 5A of the Act (a transfer application) if—(a)the permit forms part of a joint permission; and(b)the commercial activity for which the permit is held is conducted in—(i)a protected area under the Nature Conservation Act 1992; and(ii)a recreation area; and
(c)the applicant has also made an application to transfer the permit in relation to conducting the activity in the protected area (the related application); and(d)the applicant has paid an application fee (however called) for the related application; and(e)the chief executive is satisfied the transfer application and related application can be considered together.
(2)The chief executive may waive all or part of the transfer fee payable under schedule 2 for the transfer application.(3)However, if the transfer fee payable for the transfer application is higher than the application fee paid for the related application, the chief executive can waive only an amount equivalent to the application fee paid for the related application.55Reduced additional daily fee for organised event or commercial activity permit if equivalent fee paid under another Act(1)This section applies if—(a)the holder of an organised event permit or a commercial activity permit, other than for filming or photography, conducts an organised event or commercial activity under the permit in—(i)the recreation area to which the permit applies; and(ii)1 or more of the following—(A)a forest reserve that was, immediately before its dedication as a forest reserve, a State forest under the Forestry Act 1959;(B)a protected area under the Nature Conservation Act 1992;(C)a State forest under the Forestry Act 1959; and
(b)the activity is conducted for the same clients in the recreation area and the forest reserve, protected area or State forest under an equivalent permit (however called); and(c)the holder has paid a daily fee (however called) for conducting the activity under the equivalent permit.
(2)The additional daily fee payable under the Act for conducting the activity under the organised event permit or commercial activity permit is the amount worked out by deducting the amount of the daily fee paid for conducting the activity under the equivalent permit from the additional daily fee stated in schedule 2 for the organised event permit or commercial activity permit.(3)To remove any doubt, it is declared that a deduction under subsection (2) may result in the additional daily fee payable under the Act being zero.Example for subsection (3)—The holder of a commercial activity permit conducts a commercial tour lasting 3 hours for 10 clients in the Bribie Island Recreation Area and Glasshouse Mountains National Park. The holder has paid the applicable daily fee of $26 ($2.60 for each client) under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 for conducting the tour in the national park under a commercial activity permit under that Act.The $26 that has been paid is deducted from the applicable additional daily fee of $26 that would otherwise be payable under the Act for conducting the commercial tour in the recreation area under the commercial activity permit.The additional daily fee payable under the Act is therefore zero.(4)In this section—daily fee does not include a fee payable for camping overnight.Division 3Fee exemptions granted without application56Exemption for camping permit granted to particular persons(1)No fee is payable for a camping permit granted to a person who is in a recreation area that is adjacent to a relevant national park to prepare—(a)a claim to, or a management statement or management plan for, the national park under the Aboriginal Land Act 1991; or(b)a claim to the national park under the Torres Strait Islander Land Act 1991.
