The processing fee will be determined based on the ToR and budget developed for each specific

project and will be based on the type, size, location, and sensitivity of the project and the land

proposed for acquisition. Information regarding the processing fee bands and the cost for separate

components/line items must be made consistent and easily accessible, so that the Requiring Body

can factor this into its costs in advance. These rates must be reviewed and revised from time to

time. A fixed proportion of the fee will go towards meeting the costs of the UT level SIA Unit.
