SUMMARY OF COST RECOVERY IMPACT STATEMENT
The GBRMPA is committed to implementing the Commonwealth's formal cost recovery policy. In accordance with this policy the GBRMPA will adhere to the Commonwealth's cost recovery guidelines when:
- undertaking reviews consistent with the Government's five-year review schedule for existing cost recovery arrangements (due in 2005-06);
- new cost recovery arrangements are proposed;
- significant amendments to existing arrangements are being considered; and
- periodic reviews of cost recovery arrangements are required.
Cost recovery arrangements are currently in place for the assessment of permissions for commercial operations in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The GBRMPA aquarium operates with an 80% cost recovery target.
