RPRA conducted a public consultation on the proposed fees between September 29 and November 13, 2025. The process included a series of webinars and opportunities for stakeholders to provide written feedback. Input received during the consultation was reviewed before the fee schedule was finalized. While the overall fee models remain unchanged, several specific fee rates were adjusted for 2026.
Further details on the consultation process—including the original proposal, webinar recordings and RPRA’s responses to stakeholder submissions — are available on the consultation webpage.
