Land Court fees
Regulatory fees
Our fees and charges typically increase on 1 July each year. On 1 July 2025, our fees and charges were increased to 3.4 per cent in line with the Government’s indexation policy. You can contact us to find out details about specific fees, charges or prices.
From 1 July 2022 fees are stated in fee regulations as fee units and not in dollars.
