Abstract

These regulations implement provisions of the Sea Installations Act with respect to permits for sea installations and prescribed vessels. The purpose of the Sea Installations Regulations 2018 is to remake the Sea Installations Regulations 1989, which are due to sunset on 1 April 2018. The Regulations also update the 1989 Regulations by removing obsolete references that relate to obtaining a new sea installations permit. In particular, they aim at performing the following activities: maintain the three existing classes of structure that are not included in the definition of sea installation for the purposes of the Act; prescribe the fee amounts for applications to renew or vary a sea installations permit; and prescribe the maximum fee amounts, the timeframe for the payment of fees and the duration of a sea installations permit or renewal of a permit for the purposes of the Act. No charges or fees imposed under the Act and prescribed by the Regulations have been increased or decreased in the remade Regulations. The Regulations do not engage with any of the applicable rights or freedoms. The Regulations are compatible with human rights as they do not raise any human rights issues.
