From 12th October 2009, fees will be charged for services provided by BushBroker (see table below).
Fees for BushBroker services have been introduced in order to allow the BushBroker program to continue to help permit holders to find third party offsets and to enable landowners to become providers of offsets.
The BushBroker fees have been set in accordance with the Victorian Government’s Cost Recovery Guidelines and Competitive Neutrality Policy.
In most cases the fees will be collected at the time of the provision of the service.
