Road Transport (General) (Vehicle Registration and Related Fees) Determination 2005 (No 1) 
Disallowable instrument DI2005–80
made under the  
Road Transport (General) Act 1999, Section 96 (Determination of fees, charges and other amounts)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 96 of the Road Transport (General) Act 1999 allows for the Minister to determine fees, charges and other amounts payable under the ACT Road Transport legislation.

This instrument has the effect of determining fees, payable in advance, for transactions relating to vehicle registration and related transactions carried out under the Road Transport Legislation. 

Fees have generally been increased by CPI, rounded down to the nearest whole dollar for amounts over $100 and the nearest multiple of 50c for most amounts below $100.  Most vehicle registration fees have been aligned with corresponding NSW fees for equivalent vehicle categories.  In some cases, such as for motorcycles, this has resulted in an increase slightly above CPI due to minor differences in the NSW fee structure.  

Inspection fees have not been changed in this Determination as they were increased by 10% (cumulative CPI over five years) in 2003 and will be increased in 2006 by the cumulative CPI from 2003 to 2006.  

This determination is a disallowable instrument and must be presented to the Legislative Assembly within 6 sitting days after its notification in pursuance of Section 64 of the Legislation Act 2001.
