Fees revised under Buildings Ordinance
The Government is to increase a number of fees and charges under the Buildings Ordinance to offset higher operational costs.
A Government spokesman said the proposed increases of about 10 per cent would bring the fees, which were last revised in June last year, up to the current price levels.
The new fees, to be published under the Building (Oil Storage Installations) Regulations and Building (Administration) Regulations in the gazette on Friday (May 26), will come into effect on June 30.
