Fees of certificates for clubs to be revised
The fees for the issuing and renewal of certificates of compliance and certificates of exemption for clubs will be adjusted from March 1.
A spokesman for the Home Affairs Branch said today (Wednesday) that it was the Government's policy that fees should in general be set at levels sufficient to recover the full cost of providing the services.
He said the fees would go up by about nine per cent in order to cover the cost increase resulting from inflation since the last revision in January 1995.
The spokesman said the increase was modest, noting that there would be no impact on inflation and little effect on the operation of the clubs.
Under the new fee scale, the fee for issuing and renewing a certificate of compliance will range from $3,500 to $53,560, depending on the gross floor area of the club.
As to the certificate of exemption, the fee will be increased from $660 to $720 for clubs of all sizes.
Details of the new fees are set out in the Clubs (Safety of Premises) (Fees) (Amendment) Regulation 1996, which will be gazetted on Friday (January 5).
Club operators will be notified of the new scale of fees when they apply for or renew their certificates, the spokesman added.
