DOC will recover all costs of processing your application, regardless of whether it is approved or declined. This includes any third-party costs associated with processing the application for example gazette notices, survey fees, legal fees, etc.

If at any stage your application is withdrawn, you will be invoiced for the costs incurred by DOC up to that point.
The following processing fees do not include third-party fees. These will be charged in addition where applicable, and you will be notified of this prior to work commencing.
