Land Victoria Fees
New Lodgement Fees from 1 July 2009

In accordance with the Monetary Units Act 2004, Land Victoria fees expressed in number of fee units will increase from 1 July 2009.

The increases are applicable to fees contained in the:

• Transfer of Land (Fees) Regulations 2004
• Subdivision (Registrar’s Fees) Regulations 2004
• Instruments (Fees) Regulations 2004
• Property Law (Fees) Regulations 2004
• Water (Resource Management) Regulations 2007.

The new fees are determined by multiplying the number of fee units contained in the regulations by the value of the fee unit, being $11.69, and rounded to the nearest 10 cents.

Other lodgement fees expressed as dollar amounts (such as the Safe Custody Fee and Correspondence Fee) will not be changing.

Lodgement fees expressed in number of fee units in other regulations will also increase on this day.

Search fees expressed in number of fee units will also increase on this day.
