Fees

Cost recovery fees apply to projects the Coordinator-General declares coordinated under section 26 of the SDPWO Act, and to changes to projects that have been subject to a Coordinator-General's evaluation report.

These are upfront fees payable prior to particular stages of the EIS and IAR processes.

Fee arrangements are detailed in the State Development and Public Works Organisation Regulation 2020.

An explanation of the current fee system is provided in Overview of fees for coordinated projects ( 174.4 KB).

Adjustments under the fee schedule will occur on 1 July each year to reflect movements in the Consumer Price Index over the previous March to March 12-month period.

In addition, proponents may be required to pay the costs associated with:

• public notifications during the relevant stages of the EIS or IAR processes
• independent studies or reports the Coordinator-General commissions to examine a specific aspect of a project.
