FEEDBACK		 EPA Online Fee Calculator
Environment Protection Authority
The EPA's online licence fee calculator is designed to help the holders of NSW environment protection licences, potential licensees and any other interested people determine the licence fees payable under the load based licensing (LBL) system. The calculator will:
  1. Calculate licence administrative fees.
  2. Calculate load-based fees.
  3. Generate fee calculation reports that you can use to complete licence annual returns.

You can use this calculator to:

  • Find out the annual licence fee for current pollutant loads.
  • Budget for future licence fees by calculating the fees for future pollutant loads.
  • Compare the changes in the cost of licence fees as pollutant loads are changed.
  • See how licence fees can be reduced by reducing the environmental harm of the pollutants generated or by putting in place pollution reduction measures.
  • Complete licence annual return forms more easily.

A single licence fee applies to each licensed premises (even if you undertake more than one licensed activity on the premises). If you have more than one licence, you need to do a separate licence fee calculation for each.

Need HELP while calculating?

  • Use the HELP button on each calculator screen to open the help information for that calculator screen.
  • Use the linked text to jump to an explanation about that text.
  • Use the TIPS - they might contain the hint you need.
 Remember:
  • The calculator will retain your data for 20 minutes after your last entry. After this time your data is lost, and you will have to re-begin the calculation.
  • The EPA cannot store or retrieve the results of your calculations. Be sure to print the results of any calculation you want to keep.
  • The calculation is based on the information you enter into the calculator.
  • The calculation is correct for the information you enter at the date the calculation is prepared. The calculation method will be changed from time to time to reflect changes in the legislation.

Licence fees are determined by following the requirements of the Protection of the Environment (General) Regulation 1998. The EPA has prepared the online fee calculator to help users estimate licence fees payable, using the data they supply. Although the EPA has taken care in preparation of the calculator, it cannot warrant that the calculator correctly determines fees payable as determined under the Regulation. For this reason, users must not rely solely on the calculator. They should refer directly to the Regulation to satisfy themselves as to fees payable.
