It is proposed to include the Schedule 7 Fees from the Navigation & Safety Bylaw 2017 into the Fees & Charges policy. This will enable the fees to be reviewed in cycle with the Fees and Charges policy rather than the 5 yearly cycle of the Navigation Safety Bylaw review.

These fees include:

• Mooring licences, proposed increase to mooring fees from $210.00 to $250.00 & administration fee from $125.00 to $150.00
• Commercial Navigation & Safety licences,
• Aquatic Event (Special event) Administration fee of $150.00 plus actual and reasonable costs of a audits and inspections.
• Public Notices
• Navigation Aid maintenance/ inspection for third parties

Port charges (Harbour dues) have also been reviewed to ensure that they are set appropriately as they have not been reviewed for the past two years and it is proposed that these will increase from $17.65 to $19.27 per 1,000 gross tonnage excluding GST due to the increased cost of the maritime operation.
