Part 3Fees7FeesThe fees payable under the Act are stated in schedule 1.7ARounding of amounts expressed as numbers of fee units(1)This section applies for working out the amount of a fee expressed in this regulation as a number of fee units.(2)For the purposes of the Acts Interpretation Act 1954, section 48C(3), the amount is to be rounded to the nearest multiple of 5 cents (rounding one-half upwards).Example—If a fee were 35 fee units and the value of a fee unit were $1.015, the number of dollars obtained by multiplying 35 by $1.015 would be $35.525.
