Abstract

For paragraph 15 (3) (d) of the Act, the prescribed information for a report of relevant conduct is the information specified in regulation 3. “Relevant conduct” is a conduct that may be qualified as an exception to an offence as defined by section 15. The court specified in Column 1 of Schedule 1 opposite to the State or Territory specified in Column 2 of Schedule 1 is declared to be a prescribed court in relation to that State or Territory for the purposes of section 33 of the Act. For subsection 40(1) of the Act, regulation 4 prescribes the fee payable for an application for a permit to dump dredged or excavated material into any part of the sea. If: (a) no part of the material to be dumped is contaminated; and (b) the site or sites of the dredging or excavation, and the site or sites of the proposed dumping, are not environmentally sensitive; the fee is the fee applying to the application under the table specified. “Contaminated” and “environmentally sensitive” are defined in the same regulation.
