User fees and charges<br />
The amount of revenue received from fees and<br />
charges and other income (excluding grants and<br />
contributions and interest revenue) has increased<br />
by 19 per cent ($29.5m in 2010/11; $24.7m in<br />
2009/10). The categories of user fees and charges<br />
which comprise these non-State Government<br />
funding sources are displayed against comparative<br />
figures for the 2010/11 financial year in Figure 7.<br />
The increase in recreational licence fees is<br />
a result of the full-year impact of the introduction<br />
of a Recreational Fishing from Boat Licence. The<br />
increase in commercial access fees is the result<br />
of the fees returning to a usual level following<br />
adjustments made in the 2009/10 year to offset<br />
impacts of the ‘Global Financial Crisis’, particularly<br />
in the West Coast rock lobster and pearling sectors.<br />
